I found the correct answer through the Texas Workforce Commission website. Below is a direct quote from the section on "Final Pay". I hope this is helpful.

"Finally, the Texas Payday Law regulates the timing of the final paycheck in section 61.014. If an employee is laid off, discharged, fired, or otherwise involuntarily separated from employment, the final pay is due within six (6) calendar days of discharge. If the employee quits, retires, resigns, or otherwise leaves employment voluntarily, the final pay is due on the next regularly-scheduled payday following the effective date of resignation. "Mutual agreement" separations are generally regarded as involuntary, although that result is not inevitable and ultimately depends upon a close look at all the events and circumstances leading to the work separation. Whether a work separation is voluntary or involuntary is determined according to existing rules for deciding the nature of the work separation in unemployment compensation cases. Basically, if the employee initiates the work separation and leaves while continued work is still available, the work separation is voluntary. If the employer initiates the work separation, i.e., the employee has no choice but to leave at a certain time, the work separation will be considered involuntary."

How long can an employer hold your paycheck after the scheduled cutoff for that pay period?

Laws vary by state so you should check with your state labor board, post another question including your state, or add more information to the discussion area of this page for more accurate information. Generally speaking, your employer cannot hold your paycheck after the deadline specified by your state for paying you whatever you are owed and your employer may be subject to a fine for withholding your pay. In most cases, this is usually no later than the next regularly scheduled pay day for the pay period of your last day worked.

More information is necessary about the circumstances. However - if they have a legal or contractural right to do so they may withhold any monies you may owe for lost, damaged, or missing items which you were responsible for during your term of employment.

Can they hold your check if you dont write a letter of resignation?

In the United States, an employer cannot legally withhold a departing employee's paycheck; in some states, the employer must pay the employee all of the wages due him on his last day. There may be a narrow exception in some jurisdictions for cases in which the company loaned or advanced money to the employee, and there is no way to recoup the loan except by a deduction from the final paycheck. But an employer cannot withhold a paycheck from an employee simply because he did not write a letter of resignation. If this happens, an employee should file a complaint with his state's Department of Labor. The employer may subject to fines. For specific information about your state, visit the Labor Law Talk forums and look for your state's discussion board.

Can your employer hold your last paycheck if he fired you for stealing in Virginia?

Laws vary by state but most require that final paychecks be made available the next regularly scheduled payday. If your employer feels that you owe him restitution for something, he needs to seek the appropriate relief - filing a criminal complaint, for example, and/or filing a small claims suit against you to recover the value of what you stole.

What happens if you don't have your last paycheck stud to use for your tax filing?

Stud? lol You will get a W-2 form from that employer. That is what you have to have... not just your last pay stub. Call and ask if they have it or if thy have mailed it. They use your last know mailing address. So, if you have moved, it may be lost.
