What is the statue of limitations to file for unemployment benefits (within how many days/months after losing a job should a person file for unemployment benefits), with the state of Texas (Texas workforce commission)? Can I get any unemployment benefits from my former employer?

There is no statute of limitations to file for unemployment benefits. Realistically you should apply as soon after your termination as possible to ensure that all witnesses with relevant facts concerning your separation remember what happened and can testify to the separation. I cannot tell you whether you can get benefits because you have provided no information regarding your work separation. Generally, as long as you did not quit and you were not terminated for your own work connected misconduct you are eligible for benefits that you apply for and you follow all of the continuing eligibility requirements of the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act.
