I'm pretty sure all states have a variation of this. However you need to go to court to enforce it and that us expensive and difficult enough even if you win such as to scare people from trying .

Texas is pretty strict about this. You would have a difficult time even filling the suit. The most employers can do is send threatening letters from a law firm but they have no teeth.
