Legal Question in Business Law in Texas
no compete clause
If you are laid off from a company and your severance package has a no compete clause in it: then a company that you have worked on their equipment contacts you about working for them full time as their sevice contract is about to expire. Can you take the job offer or are you bound not to compete in this area?

Re: no compete clause
Depends upon the exact language of the no compete clause. If the company is not prepared to renew their contract, whether you work for them or not, your taking a job with them arguably is not competing with your previous employer.
