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!

    Does anyone have any info on this same subject in Denver, Colorado.
    We want to but a business in the same line of work but have signed a non -compete. Is it enforceable here. The company we work for currently has closed about 5 locations nationwide and are currently in chapter 11.
