In TX, non-competes/non-soliciations agreement are generally enforceable. However, there are several elements that must exist in order for a non-compete/non-solicit agreement to be enforceable. They are that it must: be ancilliary to or part of an otherwise enforceable agreement at the time it is made; protect a legitimate business interest; be reasonable regarding limitations of the scope of the activity to be restricted; not be overly broad in terms of geographical limitations; and contain reasonable limitations as to its duration. To be certain of your rights, you should consult directly with a local lawyer would can review your agreement and advise you further.
