Trade Secrets in Texas: Is Adoption of the “Inevitable Disclosure” Doctrine… Inevitable?

Texas courts have never expressly adopted the “inevitable disclosure” doctrine, which allows a business to enjoin a competitor from hiring a former employee if the new position is so similar to the former position that the employee will “inevitably disclose” the business’s trade secrets. But some very particular language in a recent Texas Supreme Court decision, In re M-I L.L.C., could be a sign that the doctrine’s acceptance is indeed inevitable.

  • P.S. — House Moves to Slash Legal Aid Funding as Senate Proposes Increase, SALSA Makes Plea for Giving, Texas Tech Tops ABA Competition and More - In this week’s P.S. Column, we cover the House Appropriations Committee’s vote to cut Legal Services Corporation funding by 46 percent, a move that could leave millions without access to legal aid.

  • A Tribute to Alistair Byrne Dawson - Alistair Dawson loved the courtroom. He relished the crucible of trial, the chance to stand before a judge and jury and advocate with clarity and conviction. His skill was evident early. At an age when most lawyers are still finding their footing, he was entrusted with cases involving some of the nation’s most prominent executives and businesses. He represented real estate magnate Sheldon Solow in a high-stakes dispute in New York. He led a case for Marvin Davis, the legendary oil wildcatter. He took on complex antitrust litigation for AT&T. These were not assignments given lightly nor to just anyone. Clients who could have hired any lawyer in the country chose Alistair. And they chose wisely. His loss is immeasurable. September 9, 2025David J. Beck
