The Texas Whistleblower Act protects college employees who make good faith reports of violations of law by the college to an appropriate law enforcement authority. The college is prohibited from suspending, terminating the employment of, or taking other adverse personnel action against, an employee who makes a report under the Act. An appropriate law enforcement authority is part of a federal, state, or local governmental entity that the employee in good faith believes is authorized to regulate under or enforce the law alleged to be violated or to investigate or prosecute a crime.
