Sexual Harassment at Work Is Illegal. Here’s How to Take Action in Texas and New Mexico

August 26, 2025

Work should feel safe — not stressful, humiliating, or threatening. But when sexual harassment enters the picture, it can affect every part of your life. If someone at work has crossed the line with words, actions, or unwanted behavior, it’s time to speak up and protect your rights.

Baeza Law Firm helps employees across El Paso and Las Cruces take action and hold harassers — and employers — accountable.

What Counts as Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment isn’t just about inappropriate comments or messages. It can include unwanted touching, repeated advances, sexual jokes, texts, emails, gestures, or pressure to perform favors in exchange for promotions or protection. It creates a hostile work environment, and that is not only wrong — it’s illegal.

What to Do If It Happens to You

Start writing everything down. Keep a record of what was said or done, when it happened, and who witnessed it. Save emails, texts, or any proof of the behavior. Then, report it to HR or your supervisor. If the problem isn’t taken seriously — or if your employer retaliates — call a lawyer immediately.
