OK. Definitely take the advice of a guy who uses "bigly" * in a sentence.
It's a joking expression Nikola Tesla. I would take advice from someone that uses joking words before I would a guy that thinks an employer can retaliate against an employee for legitimate legal action.

Send them a certified letter. That always gets people's attention.

Your legal fees will probably be the same (best case scenario) or more (worst case scenario) as what your shorted pay would be.
I’d talk to the boss. Not your boss, but the CEO and just ask if they can cut you a check. It’ll probably earn you some cred with the boss by not making a huge deal out of the situation.

Only work 40 hours (but tell them you worked 50) next week and it'll all even out.

Inform your employer they have 24hrs to issue you a check. If not, contact Texas Workforce Commission. No need to hire an attorney. Your employer doesn’t want to deal with them.

1. Get it in email. These phone calls are all he said she said
2. Once you have it in email figure out if you're gonna take legal action
3. If you take legal action wait till you have another job lined up.

This is the correct answer. The problem will be cleared up quickly.

I've learned in owning several businesses that you never get in the way of a man and his proper paycheck. But I'll tell you, tread lightly and professionally or you're end up out of a job

I have more of a question than an answer: do you think you’re not going to get canned if you bring in a lawyer to settle a 10hr book keeping mistake?
Non legal advice: whoever the “they” and “them” you’re having these conversations with... get all that in an email, forward it to their supervisor and yours. Cc “them” also. Just say you want to get it cleared up and it hasn’t been in the past two pay periods. It happens. I once did work for one of the richest families in the country and they took 3 months to pay me for 2 days’ work.

So, if a man works 50 hours in a 40 hour week for $7.50 an hour, how much do 2 men earn in 3 weeks?

Get a paperback copy of How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie at local book store. Read it.
It will teach you how to resolve problems very effectively. On my death bed I would recommend this book to those I care about.

I'd venture you are skipping over a huge number of steps in this.
Assuming you had the hours properly documented you do have recourse. That leverage should allow you to rectify this without any legal help.
If a small family business -- email the people responsible and if not rectified, loop in the higher ups. If large corporate substitute in higher level HR on the email.
If it becomes a court issue you shouldn't work there in the first place

don't listen to this idiot. The best way to get people to do what you want/like you is to sue them.
hire lawyer

if you can't sort this out between you and your employer, and think that the immediate action is to call a lawyer, you're a little bitch, grow a pair

Sorry people. Got kinda busy. I work for Norfolk southern. The railroad. I'm contracted out through them. I'm not in texas. I am in alabama. I've been told I am screwed because I'm in a right to work state. Meaning my employer can say hey we have a reduction in workforce. And I'll be terminated. Looks like I'm screwed here the more I dig.

Your best option is to make tSecks to the payroll girl and have her paw-paw 10 hours into your next payweek. If she goes down she'll take you with her but at least you have tenure. If you have any further questions, feel free to come by the office or call. Here's my card:
Also, as you can see, I've got a great deal on expungements.

That doesn't mean anything. You're legally entitled to the money they owe you. They also can't fire you for bringing legal action to them over it. If they fire you and say it's workforce reduction, but you're the only one fired you would win. I'd be looking for a new job either, but these clowns that say they'll for you for suing them don't know what they're talking about. It's extremely expensive and a huge headache for a department of labor to get involved in a company. They'll do whatever they can to avoid that.
