Compete with my Employer in different state.
I signed a non compete agreement that states that under any circumstances whatsoever compete with Company X euther as an employee, agent, consultant, ownerproprietor, or in any other capacity within six months upon termination of employment with Company X.
This agreement is entered into El Paso Texas County.
Company X has not been paying my wages on a timely manner and is risking bankruptcy.
Can I resign and open my own business in Sunland Park, NM?

non-compete
you need to have a lawyer review the agreement and get an opinion. For the basics on non-competes in Texas, go to www.houstonattorneys.com and click on legal articles. The answer depends on the language of the non-compete, the consideration given, and the effect you will have competing. My guess is that they will have a hard time enforcing it.
