A non-compete agreement is an agreement between an employer and employment, in which the employee agrees not to work for a competitor in a similar industry for a specific period of time.

Under Texas law, a contract is enforceable if it meets certain criteria. First, the employee does not have another non-compete agreement already in place. Two, the restrictions on the employee's activities must reasonable. And third, it must be for a specific period of time according to Texas law.
