There is no paid maternity leave or mandated short term disability in Texas. Your best bet is to apply for short term disability preconception. Short term disability will pay a benefit when you deliver, giving you a paid maternity leave. Texas doesnt require your employer to pay you but if you are approved for FMLA then if your job aggrees to pay you for either 6 to 8 weeks that is fine. Just talk to your employer and see what they can do for you. My employer gives you paid maternity leave under FMLA if you have been there for a year. Which I have not and it sucks so im trying to get TANF.
