Dallas
Texas Instruments will lay off 163 employees in North Texas, effective December 12, as part of the company’s shutdown of fabrication plants in Dallas and Sherman, Texas. The layoffs were documented in a notice filed with the Texas Workforce Commission and are linked to the company’s change in operational strategy to improve efficiency. An additional 20 employees will be laid off in April following the shutdown of the North Central Expressway plant.
Details
The workforce reductions are tied to planned closures of two fabrication plants in North Texas and are part of a company-wide adjustment that follows earlier announcements. The company previously announced plans to close two fabrication plants in North Texas in 2020. The recent layoff notice was filed with the Texas Workforce Commission.
Texas Instruments employs over 34,000 people across its operations. The company has made large capital investments in Texas, including about $40 billion in a new semiconductor plant in Sherman and $6 billion in its Richardson campus. The new plants are expected to support up to 60,000 jobs in the Texas region. Texas Instruments ranks as the 17th largest public company in North Texas.
The layoffs coincide with a change in operational strategy to improve efficiency. Company workforce reductions follow broader political and economic pressure to expand domestic manufacturing capacity, including pressure from the Trump administration to increase domestic manufacturing efforts. Texas Instruments recently received up to $1.61 billion in federal funding to expand U.S. manufacturing under the CHIPS Act.
Scope and uncertainty
Reports and internal notices indicate the layoffs could extend beyond the currently announced numbers, with suggestions they could reach hundreds or potentially thousands of workers across multiple locations. There has been speculation that the layoffs are being staggered to avoid triggering reporting thresholds under the WARN Act. The total number of layoffs across all Texas Instruments locations remains unclear due to lack of official disclosures and WARN filings.
There is ongoing dialogue about hiring practices and workforce composition, including discussion of the company’s increased use of H-1B visa workers alongside the layoffs of local staff. Texas Instruments has previously laid off employees in other states, including Utah.
Immediate impact and next steps
The immediate impact will be focused in North Texas, where the announced plant shutdowns and the December and April layoff dates are concentrated. The company’s filings with state workforce authorities will be the primary public notifications for affected employees. Further notifications and filings may clarify if and how the reductions will expand beyond the numbers already disclosed.
