Texas Severance Agreements and Non-Compete Agreements

Contact our Texas Employment Law Firm to set up an appointment to discuss your Severance Agreement or Non-Compete Agreement.

Texas Employment Severance Agreements

We represent executives, managers, professionals, and other Texas employees who have been laid off and are presented with the option to release all of their claims against a former employer in exchange for a severance payment.  Before you sign a severance agreement, contact a Texas Employment Attorney to discuss strategies for negotiating a severance package that justly compensates you.

Texas Covenants Not to Compete

Covenants not to compete (also called non-compete agreements) are employment agreements that restrict an employee from competing with a former employer after the employee is fired or quits.  Texas courts generally disfavor non-compete agreements unless they are limited in scope, are supported by valid consideration, and protect an employer’s legitimate business interest.  If you signed a non-compete agreement and want to leave your current employer, you should contact a Texas Employment Attorney to discuss whether your non-compete is enforceable and what you can do to protect yourself against a lawsuit filed by your employer against you.
