More details to this question:
I started a new job two months ago, and did not sign a single paper, my W-2 was electronically done. Now she has given me a handbook stating clients are her property, she can search my car and purse, and a noncompete clause. Can she do this 2 months into a job?

From what you've written, you were an employee at will, meaning that you could be fired at any time for any reason not prohbiited by statute (e.g. race, religion, gender, etc.) Texas law may be different, but in the states in whcih I practice, an employer can require an employee to enter into an employment contract as a condition of continued employment. although it does not necessarily follow that all the provisions of the agreement will be deemed valid if the employer ever sues to enforce them.
