More details to this question:
My wife is being verbally harassed at work. So naturally I called the owner of the establishment and notified him that if it continues I will be suing him. He then wrote her up for making threats and threatened to fire her.

This discharge is completely lawful in GA. It is not wise to threaten an employer, especially when the threat comes from a spouse.

In Texas, there is no law, generally, preventing an employer from firing for that or for any other reason, or no reason at all. Without a union or an employment contract, non-government employers are free to fire employees. Of course, if a worker is terminated because of illegal discrimination, they could have a legal claim.

It depends on the overall circumstances. Contact an attorney.
