Antiwork

Stupid question: can you get fired for discussing your compensation with other employees?

I casually mentioned my pay to a coworker, which sparked a conversation about how she gets paid less than I do. We work the same position, and both have the same amount of experience except I recently joined the team and she started her career with them. After, I was taken aside by a friend who mentioned I could get fired for this. I always have discussed my wages openly but I found conflicting information online saying you couldn’t and you could. I live in Texas for reference.
