Texas Laws

Texas has enacted a workplace lactation support policy that applies only to employees of the Texas state government. The state of Texas does not have any rules or regulations that directly address lactation accommodation in private workplaces, however, the Texas Health and Safety Code dictates that a mother may breastfeed their child in any location, public or private, where the mother is otherwise authorized to be. This includes in the workplace.
