The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has neither researched nor issued standards requiring that workers be permitted lunch and rest breaks in the course of their workday.
In Florida, employers are not required by state law or federal law to provide their employees with any rest breaks through the workday or during the 8-hour shift. Additionally, meal breaks, for adult employees, are also not mandated ing to the law.
In Texas, there are no labor laws in breaks, so employees do not have a right to breaks and employers are not required to provide a certain number of breaks even during a 12-hour shift. However, it is common for workplaces to provide one meal break (30 mins.) and two rest breaks (15 mins. each) during a shift.

As such, I suggest you seek a consultation with an employment attorney for more particularized advice.
