In TX, is it illegal to discriminate against a person due to his being extremely obese

While discrimination is ugly, it is not always illegal. Federal constitutional law makes it unlawful for state actors (e.g., federal or state agencies) to discriminate against "protected classes." Protected classes include, for example, gender, age, and race). Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act Protected classes include, for example, gender, age, and race). While discrimination based on weight may be equally painful, it is not typically considered unlawful. There have, however, been a few cases that call into question whether a morbidly obese person is considered to have a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
