Retaliation for complaining about Sexual Harassment is itself a violation of the law, if the employer you work for has 15 or more employees. Withing 180 days of the date you were let go, you should contact the EEOC or the Texas Workforce Commission - Civil Rights Division and file a complaint. They may or may not provide you the relief you seek. If not, you will have to seek a private attorney. But that attorney cannot do anything for you in the court system, until after you file such a complaint.
