Judge Boyle’s Non-Compete Decision In Brink’s Case

I recently came across a thorough Memorandum Opinion and Order issued by Judge Boyle (available here) last year in Brink’s v. Patrick. The opinion contains an excellent summary of Texas law on non-competes. Of interest is Judge Boyle’s finding that “even if the [non-compete] agreement did effectively impose a four-year restriction, the Court cannot conclude that such a restriction would be unreasonable under Texas law.”
