FAQ
For now, state law remains unchanged. Texas will enforce a non-compete agreement if it meets certain criteria: It must be included with another agreement (such as an employment offer), and be in exchange for “consideration” (i.e. something in return, such as specialized training or confidential information).
Some potential ways to get out of a non-compete agreement in Texas include the following: Negotiate with the employer to modify the terms of the agreement. Challenge the enforceability of the agreement in court. Wait for the agreement to expire. Seek a waiver or exemption from the agreement.
The FTC Rule does not contain express penalties for failing to send notices or for sending inadequate notices.

The rule (the Non-Compete Rule) implicates unsettled issues regarding the FTC's authority to issue substantive competition regulations. Lawsuits challenging the rule followed. In one of those cases, a federal district court has declared the Non-Compete Rule unlawful and barred the FTC from enforcing it nationwide.
The rule defines a prohibited “non-compete clause” to include any contract term, workplace policy or term or condition of employment that prohibits a worker from, penalizes a worker for, or functions to prevent a worker from seeking work, accepting work or operating a business after the conclusion of the employment ...
The Texas district court's final order enjoined enforcement of the Rule nationwide. The court held that the FTC had improperly exceeded its statutory authority by creating a substantive Rule banning non-competes.
