As I understand your question, you signed an agreement to arbitrate employment disputes and the venue for arbitration would be Texas. If you worked in California, you may be able to challenge the arbitration clause or the forum selection clause, depending on the particulars of your matter. You should consult with an attorney in you area to discuss the particulars of your matter and for any specific legal advice.
