This page collects every WARN Act notice on record for Texas - 286,423 workers across 2414 filings. For covered employers and covered events, the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act generally requires 60 days' written notice before a plant closing or a mass layoff: 500+ affected full-time workers at one site, or 50–499 when that is at least one-third of the active workforce. Exceptions and state rules can change the result. Texas reports through its own rapid-response and dislocated-worker program. Each notice below lists the employer, the number of jobs affected, the location, and the filing date, drawn directly from the state's published filings, use them to see which employers and industries are cutting, and when.

Texas recorded notice threshold: 50+ workers in this state's registry. This field is not a complete legal coverage test: employer size, the worksite, event size, workforce share, timing, exceptions, and state rules can all matter.

Reading Texas's WARN Act Filings

Texas has 2,414 WARN notices on record affecting 286,423 workers, with the most recent filing dated Jul 31, 2026. State-recorded notice threshold: 50+ workers.

Average notice size: 119 workers - smaller events (single-line closures, partial-facility layoffs at the WARN threshold). WARN Act framework + worker rights →

A few caveats are worth keeping in mind when you read these numbers. WARN notices are advance warnings, not confirmed outcomes, some filings are later withdrawn, postponed, or end up affecting fewer people than first projected, while voluntary buyouts and slow attrition never appear in this dataset at all. The law also exempts smaller employers and any layoff below the reporting threshold, so a quiet state on this page is not automatically a healthy labor market; it may simply file fewer covered notices. Treat these totals as a floor on visible disruption and a timeline of the largest, best-documented cuts, then open an individual notice to see the employer, the location, and the effective date behind each figure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many WARN Act layoffs have occurred in Texas?

Texas has 2414 WARN Act notices on file, affecting a total of 286,423 workers. The average notice affects 119 workers.

What notice threshold is listed for Texas?

PlainLayoffs records a 50-worker state threshold for Texas. Federal WARN eligibility is not a single headcount: employer size, the site, the affected full-time workforce, timing, and exceptions also matter. Check the state workforce agency for the rule that applies to a specific event.

Does Texas have its own mini-WARN rule?

Texas's listed threshold is 50 workers. State notice rules can be broader than federal WARN and can add their own coverage, timing, or exception rules. Confirm the current rule with Texas's workforce agency before relying on a filing for legal eligibility.

What should I do if my employer files a WARN notice in Texas?

A WARN filing does not by itself establish a right to 60 days of notice. Federal WARN generally requires 60 calendar days of written notice for covered employers and covered events, subject to threshold rules and exceptions. Check the facts of the employer, site, and event with Texas's workforce agency or a qualified adviser; the filing can help you identify the relevant rapid-response and benefits resources.

Where does this Texas layoff data come from?

This page is compiled from publicly available notices published by state workforce agencies. Federal WARN can require notice to a state dislocated-worker unit for covered employers and covered events; publication practices and state mini-WARN rules vary, so this database is not a complete census of every layoff.
