Non-Compete Agreements Attorneys in Houston, TX

Many times, however, employers need to protect their trade secrets that have been compromised by a highly place trusted manager or even a partner.  Under the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act (TUTSA, Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 134A.001 et seq.), trade secrets include confidential information like customer lists, pricing strategies, business methods, and proprietary formulas that provide a competitive advantage and are subject to reasonable secrecy efforts. In California, the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (CUTSA, Cal. Civ. Code §§ 3426 et seq.) similarly recognizes trade secrets such as technical data, marketing plans, and client databases and information, provided they derive economic value from secrecy and are protected accordingly. For example, a Texas court may protect a company’s unique software algorithms, while California courts often safeguard proprietary customer data in tech industries. Vethan Law Firm, P.C. assists clients in Texas and California by enforcing or defending NDAs and non-competes to protect these assets. In Texas, we ensure non-competes meet the Covenants Not to Compete Act’s requirements (reasonable time, geography, and scope), while in California, we navigate Business and Professions Code Section 16600, which restricts non-competes but allows narrowly tailored NDAs. For employment matters, Texas’s at-will framework permits robust NDA enforcement, while California’s Labor Code and Fair Employment and Housing Act impose stricter standards, requiring precise drafting to avoid unenforceability.
