Occurred Jan/Feb of this year. Wage claim filled with TWC. No reason was given. I had to contact a different work area to be reinstated. I believe not paying me for the month is a crime. It certainly hurt.

Your question states a non sequitur. A statute of limitations sets the time within which a lawsuit must be filed. Obviously, a lawsuit cannot be won unless and until it is filed.
