[Texas] Fired for "not fitting in" and "just dont look happy to be here" is filing for unemployment possible?

So today I was fired at my job because I "didn't fit in" and that I wasn't always smiling. I had only been working there for 2 and a half weeks. Within the first week the boss told my manager that I needed to smile more, quote, "I want that girl gone, she doesn't smile enough."

I was talked to and I immediately tried to do better. I was getting many compliments from customers and had people asking for me all the time.

Today I walk in and I'm fired immediately for the reason I stated above.

It was an At-Will job, as I was a bartender. I'm just wondering if with those reasons for firing me, would it be worth it to try to file for unemployment? I'm kind of at a standstill on jobs since I'm in such a small town.
