There are instances where an employer can withhold wages at the end of employment, but only if you owe them money for some reason (ex., wage advance, relocation agreement, etc.) and have agreed to let the employer offset what you owe against your wages. If you do not owe them any money, then they owe you ALL wages earned. You should consider filing a claim with the Texas Workforce Commmission for unpaid wages.
