Ashe denies summary judgment to the former employee of an environmental services company in the oil and gas industry on his argument that while his post-resignation tank-cleaning activities constitute a breach of the no-compete and non-solicitation provisions of his employment contract, those provisions are legally void and unenforceable because his old boss was not operating in any of the 64 Louisiana parishes and 150 Texas counties listed in their agreement at the time of execution. Because the restrictive covenant of the employment agreement complies with the law by listing specific areas where the former employee is prohibited from competing and because he engaged in tank cleaning in six of the listed areas when his employment was terminated, their employment agreement is valid.
