Legal Question in Business Law in Texas

It depends on whether or not you had a non-compete agreement with him, what your policies and procedures were at that time for your company, and whether those policies and procedures are posted in view of the employees or they have to sign that they reviewed them.

If you did not have any of these, and it is confidential information that he took with him or shared to gain this contract or new business, there is a common-law cause of action that can be brought to protect confidential information. However, we would need more information as to what that information was that he used, before we could advise you further.

Next, I would highly suggest that if you do not have a non-compete agreement or policies and procedures prepared to protect your company and which employees are required to have notice of; that you allow our firm or another qualified business attorney or litigation attorney, to prepare these documents for your company, so that this does not occur again.
