A Texas Court Examines What Is a Reasonable Geographic Restriction in a Non-Compete Agreement

Originally published by Leiza Dolghih.

While Texas allows non-compete agreements that are reasonable and meet the requirements of the Texas Covenants Not to Compete Act, the courts in this state will not enforce agreements with overbroad geographic restrictions.  What is overbroad depends on the company’s business, the employee’s duties, and the language of the agreement.
