Weatherford Oil Tool Company, Incorporated v. A. G. Campbell

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' dismissal of Weatherford Oil Tool Company's action for damages because the non‑competition covenant was unreasonable as written and therefore unenforceable for monetary relief; the injunction issue was moot. Justice Griffin, joined by Justices Smith and Hamilton, concurred in part and dissented in part, arguing that the contract should be reduced to a reasonable scope and that damages could be awarded.
