Non Compete agreement working in NJ and my employer is in TX

I have been working as a contractor to Nj based clinet ABC from last 2 years. Last year my Texas based employer XYZ made me sign non-compete employment agreement. Now, my client ABC has ended the contract due to budget issues and offered me a full time employment. I have intimated about my position to my employer and gave notice for my resignation and joined the client ABC as a fulltime employee. Now, my previous employer XYZ is filing a law suite that i have broken the agreement. Now, which law will apply to me NJ or TX? so, are there any chances for me to win the case? please guide me.

They filed lawsuite in Texas.

I would need to review the contract that includes your non-compete agreement and additional information about the relevant facts and circumstances to be able to answer your question. For example, where did XYZ file its lawsuit -- in New Jersey or in Texas?
