How do I file an ADA complaint?

Filing an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) complaint in Texas is simple. The first step is to contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to file a complaint. The EEOC is responsible for investigating all complaints about unlawful disability discrimination. To file a complaint, you must provide the EEOC with all relevant details about your complaint. Once a complaint has been filed, the EEOC may decide to pursue the complaint or may refer it to the Disability Law Enforcement Office (DLEO) of the Texas Department of Human Services. The DLEO is responsible for enforcing disability laws in Texas. To file a complaint with the DLEO, you must provide information about your complaint, including the name of the employer, the nature of the discrimination, and any other applicable facts. If the DLEO decides to take action on your complaint, you will be notified in writing. The DLEO may then conduct an investigation into the complaint. If the investigation reveals that unlawful disability discrimination has taken place, the DLEO may order the employer to take appropriate corrective action. In addition to filing a complaint with the EEOC or the DLEO, you can also file a complaint directly with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ is responsible for ensuring that federal law is being followed. To do so, it provides an ADA complaint form which provides detailed information on how to file an ADA complaint. No matter which route you take, it is important to keep records of your complaint and any action taken by the EEOC, DLEO, or DOJ. This will help you to document any violations of your rights under the ADA.
