What can I do in texas about an employer that is behind several paychecks with mulitple employess?
Mainly what can be done to hold them accountable.

Additional Details:
my fiancee is two checks behind when we ask the owner he just says we havent heard anything or we
are waiting on the mail. the boss has nothing to worry about. we were told that come the first of
this year that he would be paid on the 1st and 15th. then we were paid on jan 4th of this year but
nothing since. the payday was this past friday. our bills are late and we are one week from rent
being due. and have a one year old daughter. if no check is paid by this saturday he will be
quitting and getting a diff job. but we would like to make them accountable for this. its not a new
company they have been in business i beleive for more then five years.
