Legal Question in Business Law in Texas

Re: Non Compete Contract

Non-competes are very common, but are often deemed to be unenforceable by courts where the company tries to enforce them. Of course, if you are not violating the provisions, there should be no problem. In other words, if the geographic scope is the east coast (however that would be defined) and you are in California, you would not be violating the non-compete.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

Re: Non Compete Contract

From the information you've provided, the non-compete probably would not be enforced in Texas.

There's no telling what they may do on the West Coast in interpreting Texas law.
