Federal legislation concerning overtime hours are contained within the Fair Labor Standards Act. See below link.

Mandatory overtime is legal in Texas.
You won't find a *law* that says that, though. (The link below, though, is to a labor law website that discusses it)
The reason is that it falls under something called the "principle of legality". That's the basic legal principle that EVERYTHING is legal, UNLESS a law says it isn't.
There is no law in Texas that says an employer can't require mandatory overtime for factory workers, so it's not illegal for them to do it. (There is a law that says a *retail* worker must get one day off a week, but for some strange Texan reason it is ONLY for retail workers)

Each state has its own laws, you google your state plus department of labor. Usually it's the wages and standards division, but there is also a civil rights or discrimination division as well. There are also federal labor laws included on the state sites.

Depends on the State. Use Google and search for your State's department of labor.
