I would need to know a bit more information.
First and importantly,did you have a written contract of employment?
Not speaking directly to your facts, but here is short answer on Texas law:
Absent a written contract Texas is generally an "Employment At Will "state. Basically, that means that the employer or the employee may terminate the work relationship at any time, for any reason.
In Texas, (and under some Federal statutes) a unilateral right to terminate is limited by several exceptions such as Whistleblower, discharge because of race, disability, color, religion, national origin, age or sex to name a few.

On the limited facts presented I would want more information on the issue of discharge vs. voluntary resignation.
