Description
This is an appeal from the extension of a temporary injunction ordering appellant, Willis Webb, to comply with provisions of a covenant not to compete with his former employer, appellee Hartman Newspapers, Inc. In four points of error, appellant contends the trial court erred in retroactively applying a statute that went into effect after appellant was dismissed as editor and publisher of two Hartman newspapers, and abused its discretion in extending the order because the covenant not to compete is (1) unenforceable based on appellants lack of consideration and common calling defenses, (2) unreasonable in geographic scope, and (3) unreasonably broad in scope of activity prohibited. Finding the covenant unnecessarily broad to protect appellants interests, we modify the injunction in terms of geographic scope and prohibited activity and affirm the injunction as modified.
