I do not believe that your employer is required to give you a letter. However, Texas does follow what is known as the Sabine Pilot doctrine meaning that your former employer may be liable to you for lost wages and punitive damages if you were fired for refusing to do an illegal act. I would encourage you to speak with a local attorney as soon as possible
