Texas HB 2127 (2023) preempts local predictable scheduling laws. Dallas County has no scheduling ordinance and is barred from adopting one. Federal FLSA overtime is the only floor.
Predictive or fair workweek scheduling laws require advance posted schedules and premium pay for last-minute changes. No Texas city or county had adopted one before HB 2127, and the 2023 Regulatory Consistency Act now expressly forecloses such local rules by reserving labor regulation to the state. Dallas County has no predictive scheduling ordinance covering retail, food, hospitality, or warehouse workers. Texas state law has no equivalent. Workers in Dallas, Irving, Garland, Mesquite, Richardson, Carrollton, Grand Prairie, and unincorporated Dallas County depend entirely on the federal Fair Labor Standards Act for overtime above 40 hours weekly, plus any voluntary employer scheduling policy or collective bargaining agreement. No premium pay for shift changes is mandated.
No local scheduling violations exist. Workers cannot file premium-pay claims under Dallas County rules. Federal FLSA overtime claims go to USDOL Wage and Hour Division if hours exceed 40 in a week.
