Houston, TX employment law attorney Gregg M. Rosenberg explains whether or not it’s okay to secretly record your boss to prove that he is sexually harassing you. He notes that in sexual harassment cases, one of the questions he is frequently asked is how a victim can prove the harassment is occurring. Many clients ask whether it is permissible to record the harasser. In Texas, he explains, the answer is yes. Texas follows a “single-party consent” rule, meaning that as long as one person involved in the conversation is aware that it is being recorded, the recording is legal.

He emphasizes that this provides a safe and lawful option for individuals seeking to document harassment. With today’s technology, recording interactions can be an effective way to preserve evidence, and doing so is fully permissible under Texas law.
