NCH Corp. v. Share Corp.

GARZA, Circuit Judge:

NCH Corporation (“NCH”) brought this diversity action under Texas law against Share Corporation (“Share”) seeking damages and injunctive relief. NCH’s complaint alleged several theories of recovery, each of which stemmed from the allegation that Share had hired NCH employees who were working under contracts which contained covenants not to compete. At the close of the plaintiff’s case, the trial court granted Share’s motion for directed verdict. NCH brought this appeal. Finding that NCH’s contentions on appeal lack merit, we affirm.
