In Texas, there is no provision in the non-compete law that voids a non-compete simply because someone is charged (or convicted) of a felony.For this reason, the non-compete would need to be reviewed to see if the NC contractually provides for such a trigger that would void the NC.

Likewise, the IC agreement would need to be reviewed to see if simply being "charged" (or convicted) with a felony would trigger termination of the contract.
