In the First Impression Case in Texas, the Fort Worth Court of Appeal found that FMLA vacation employees are not entitled to pay annuity to invalidate the administrative decision of the Texas Labor Relations Commission. The Texas Labor Council versus Wichita County in Texas have applied for state unemployment benefits when starting FMLA vacation. Because the employer was unable to make adjustments based on restrictions, it was substantially separated from the last employment during the FMLA vacation, so the unemployed hearing officer and the Texas Labor Force Committee were both eligible for state unemployment benefits .

White filed for appeal for unemployment to the appellant's Texas Labor Force Council (TWC) on 2 October. The county questioned White's application on the grounds that it can not receive benefits as it is still employed. TWC initially decided that White would be eligible to receive benefits on 25th October and decided that "unemployment can be considered during unpaid leave". Soon he gained an adaptive position, and White returned to the county position of each department. Therefore, her FMLA vacation ended on November 4, 2011.
