Noncompete regulations for TX & IL

reicheru

I am trying to locate information on noncompete sales agreements for TX and IL and I am running into a brick wall. Does anyone have any tips for looking up this information?

I assume you mean how to draft an agreement for salespersons that includes an enforceable non-competition clause.

Texas law about non-compete agreements is very technical. The American Bar Association has published a good book called "Covenants Not to Compete: A State by State Survey", that discusses the law in each of the fifty states. But even if you research the issue and find information, your company needs to have a Texas attorney who is experienced with non-competition agreements help you draft the agreements.

I have worked on a lot of non-competition cases, and when the agreements have not been drafted by a Texas attorney with experience in these matters, the agreements have not been enforceable in Texas.

Good Luck!
