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

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals' dismissal, holding that the one‑year, worldwide non‑competition covenant was unreasonable and could not be enforced for damages, and noting that the injunctive issue was moot. Justice Griffin, in a partial concurrence/dissent, argued that the contract should be enforceable after a reasonable reduction of scope and that the majority’s split holding was inconsistent.
