Re: non compete
Based on what you have written, it appears that you might be able to get out of the non-compete agreement. My local law firm would need to review the actual agreement to properly advise you of it's effects upon you. Additionally, the Texas state laws have changed recently regarding non-compete agreements. As such, you should seek the assistance of a local law firm in determining your rights under the agreement. If my local law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact my legal assistant Jennifer ([email protected]).
