Covenants Not to Compete

Longview Noncompete Agreements Attorneys

Tyler Noncompetition Lawyers


This is an area of law governed by statute and evolving case law. A business has a right to restrict, to a certain extent, departing employees from competing with them. When employees have access to customer lists, trade secrets, confidential financial and process information, these can be used to an employer's disadvantage.

The Texas Covenant Not to Compete Act and decisions by the Texas courts attempt to protect existing businesses while avoiding an undue burden on new businesses. Given that the fairness of your agreement can be weighed by the courts, an effective trial attorney is essential.
