I work full-time (40 hrs) and recently lost $1.2K/month in talent fees that were a major part of my income. When I accepted the job, I was told the low hourly rate would be offset by these fees. My hours and duties haven’t changed—just the pay. Can I file for unemployment in Texas due to this loss, or am I ineligible since I’m still working full-time?

Most if not all states bar you from collecting unemployment if you currently have a FT job regardless of the salary.

Go to the TX gov site and read about qualifying for unemployment
