Gage Van Horn & Associates, Inc. v. Tatom
Texas Supreme Court · Decided June 20, 2002
87 S.W.3d 536; 45 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 857; 2002 Tex. LEXIS 85; 2001 WL 1892191 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

Gage Van Horn & Associates, Inc. v. Tatom

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The principal issue in this case is whether the Covenants Not to Compete Act, Texas Business & Commerce Code section 15.50 et. seq., controls the award of attorney’s fees in a declaratory judgment action in which a court declares a covenant not to compete unenforceable. We granted the petition for review to consider this issue of first impression. However, after examining the record, we conclude that the issue was not preserved. Accordingly, we withdraw this Court’s April 26, 2001 order granting the petition for review as improvidently granted. The petition for review is denied.
