That's not how the law works in Texas. She should be paid for unused vacation time, but you can be fired without cause at any time, no questions asked, and no compensation other than time already worked. The only time severence is required is when more than 50 people and/or 33% of the employees are laid off, as required by the WARN Act.

However, I agree she might have a case (or at least enough to threaten a case) for sexual discrimination/harassment, if she had previous issues with this particular coworker and the part about being a "grown man" taking orders from a "young girl" was a direct quote from the manager.
