Can I Face Legal Or Professional Consequences For Exposing A Customer Who Threatened To Call Ice On My Family?

Location: Texas

I’m looking for advice on a situation that happened at work and want to understand the potential consequences before deciding what to do.

I recently had a customer who was concerned about something happening during her transaction. I was trying to reassure her and said, “Girl, we would never do that to you.” She immediately responded by telling me not to call her “girl” because she was an attorney. I apologized right away and continued helping her with her other concerns.

Later, we were waiting in another area of the store while she looked at something, and she started cursing me out. I could tell the situation was escalating, so I pulled out my phone and began recording, primarily to capture the audio in case I needed documentation of what happened.

During the interaction, I told her that a higher-level manager would be following up with her regarding her behavior. She then said, “Yeah, well, your family is going to hear from ICE.” The entire exchange was captured in my recording.
She also explicitly said she made that comment because I had called her “girl” and because she is Black. I understand that my wording was overly familiar, and I apologized for it, but I was not addressing her that way because of her race.
After the incident, I found out that she is actually an immigration attorney.

Now, I’m considering sending the recording to a local Instagram account that shares community incidents so the interaction can be brought to light. However, before I do that, I want to understand what I could potentially be getting myself into.

Could I face legal consequences for sharing the recording publicly? Does it matter whether her face is visible if the audio captures the conversation? Could I get in trouble with my employer for posting it, especially since the interaction happened at work? And could there be any additional consequences because she is an attorney?

I’m not trying to put myself in a bad position by acting out of frustration, so I want to understand the risks before making a decision.
