Debbie Light, Petitioner v. Centel Cellular Company of Texas, Successor-In-Interest to United Telespectrum, Inc…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the covenant not to compete signed by Debbie Light was unenforceable because it was not ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement, applying the Texas Covenants Not to Compete Act retroactively; the court reversed the appellate court's judgment and remanded for further proceedings. Justice Hightower filed a concurring opinion affirming the same result.
