QUESTION
If its the truth, do I still have a case for slander?
Asked on Dec 07th, 2011 on Civil Litigation - Texas
More details to this question:
One of my coworkers was cheated on by his girlfriend, and I was the one his girlfriend was cheating on him with. She told him, and he said he would do whatever it takes to bring me down. He went and told our authorities and now I''m being let go, since his parents are so high up in the company. We both are on staff for a church, do I have any case of defamation or slander here? Is there anything I can do to cover damages?

Unfortunately from the short fact pattern that you have provided, I don't see a case. Nevertheless, under Texas law, truth is a defense to any slander case. I encourage you to make an appointment with a civil litigation attorney and discuss this matter further. Hope this helps.
