Becky Richards, a former employee of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging severe racial and sexual harassment during her tenure. The complaint outlines a pattern of discrimination and retaliation that Richards claims led to her wrongful termination. She asserts that TxDOT failed to address complaints of racial slurs, misogynistic comments, and physical harassment, culminating in her being unjustly fired after reporting these incidents. Richards is seeking damages for lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages while demanding a jury trial.
