Texas Health Resources became the third North Texas health system this week to require their employees to get the Covid-19 vaccine. Companies like Google, Facebook, Netflix and Twitter are among the companies doing just that.

“For all employers in Texas who don’t have government contracts, you can require your employees to get the Covid-19 vaccine,” said Rogge Dunn, a Dallas business and employment lawyer.

He says it’s perfectly legal for companies to do so in Texas, with a few exceptions.
