Texas enforces non-compete agreements under the Texas Business & Commerce Code §15.50 (the Covenants Not to Compete Act). The statute requires that the non-compete be ancillary to or part of an otherwise enforceable agreement and contain limitations as to time, geographical area, and scope of activity that are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than necessary to protect the employer's goodwill or business interest. Texas is considered a moderate-to-employer-friendly state with a statutory reformation provision.
Whether you manage a Houston energy company restricting departing engineers, a Dallas tech firm protecting proprietary software, or an Austin startup preventing developers from joining competitors, Texas law provides a clear framework. The Texas Supreme Court in Marsh USA Inc. v. Cook clarified that consideration supporting the non-compete can include confidential information, trade secrets, or specialized training provided during employment. Texas courts routinely reform overbroad agreements under the statutory mandate.
SignAI generates your Texas non-compete with the right legal language automatically — including compliance with Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §15.50, proper ancillary agreement structure, reasonable durational and geographic limits, and protectable interests aligned with the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act (TUTSA, Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §134A).

FAQ
Yes. Texas enforces non-competes under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §15.50. The agreement must be ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement and contain reasonable limitations on time, geography, and scope. Texas is considered moderate-to-employer-friendly, and courts are required by statute to reform overbroad agreements rather than void them.
The Texas Supreme Court in Marsh USA v. Cook clarified that the non-compete must be connected to an agreement where the employer provides something of value — such as confidential information, trade secrets, or specialized training — in exchange for the employee's promise not to compete. The employment relationship itself, combined with access to trade secrets, satisfies this requirement.
Texas has no statutory maximum. Courts evaluate reasonableness based on the circumstances. Employment non-competes of two years or less are commonly upheld. Longer periods face greater scrutiny but may be enforced for business sales or roles with access to significant trade secrets.
Yes — Texas law requires it. Under §15.51, if a court finds the restrictions are greater than necessary, the court shall reform the covenant to make it enforceable. This mandatory reformation provision is one of the most employer-friendly in the country, giving courts a statutory duty to save the agreement.
Yes. Under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §15.50(b), physician non-competes are enforceable but must include provisions allowing the physician to buy out the non-compete and requiring the employer to provide patient information (including contact details) for continuity of care. These healthcare-specific requirements are unique to Texas.
