I am writing to urge you to support legislative efforts in Texas to eliminate non-compete clauses from employment contracts. Such restrictive agreements hinder the healthy competition that is essential to the spirit of free market capitalism—a principle that has long driven our state’s economic success. A dynamic labor market that allows workers to move freely between jobs injects fresh ideas and adaptability into our businesses. This level playing field enables both established companies and innovative startups to flourish, ultimately strengthening Texas’s reputation as a hub for entrepreneurial spirit and economic opportunity. Healthy competition is the foundation of thriving capitalism. When businesses are challenged to innovate, reduce costs, and improve their offerings, the entire market benefits. Eliminating non-compete clauses will not only empower workers with greater freedom and opportunity but will also stimulate the kind of robust competition that drives long-term prosperity for Texas. I respectfully urge you to champion measures that remove these restrictive clauses and reinforce the values of free market competition and thriving capitalism in our great state. Thank you for your time and consideration on this critical issue.
