Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas

I signed an "Employee Non-Compete Contract" a small computer company in Texas. I understand If i was an employee I would be bound to the contract, but I was considered a contract laborer. I was paid as a contract laborer and I have 1099 forms to prove it. So am I legally bound to the contract?
