FAQ

Now, the Supreme Court has resolved the question by holding that employee non-competition agreements are prohibited by Section 16600 unless they fall within a statutory exception.

On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission issued its long-awaited Final Non-Compete Clause Rule, which operates to ban most post-employment non-compete agreements between employers and their workers.

The court held that the FTC had improperly exceeded its statutory authority by creating a substantive Rule banning non-competes. The court also concluded that the Rule was arbitrary and capricious, in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act.

Under Texas law noncompete agreements can be enforceable if: The noncompete provision is part of an otherwise enforceable agreement. The non-compete requirement is supported by valid consideration (consideration meaning something of value provided to the employee).

In Texas, there is no requirement that the employee must leave on their own terms to preserve the enforceability of the non-compete agreement. In other words, a non-compete agreement remains in force whether the employee quit, was fired, or laid off.

Employers can breathe a sigh of relief as a Texas federal judge set aside the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) impending ban on non-compete clauses. The FTC published a final rule banning all non-compete clauses with workers in the United States going forward.

In Texas, a court has the ability to modify – or even nullify – the non-compete if the court determines that it is not reasonable. The courts are given wide latitude to reform a non-compete if the court believes the scope of activity, duration, or geographic area are too restrictive.

Texas law provides that a covenant not to compete is enforceable only if it: is ancillary to or part of an otherwise enforceable agreement. contains reasonable limitations as to time, geographical area, and scope of activity.

Under Texas law noncompete agreements can be enforceable if: The noncompete provision is part of an otherwise enforceable agreement. The non-compete requirement is supported by valid consideration (consideration meaning something of value provided to the employee).

The Non-Compete Rule would prohibit employers from entering into or otherwise enforcing non-compete clauses and some similar agreements, beginning on September 4, 2024. It would also require employers to notify workers subject to such agreements that their agreements are no longer enforceable.
