BG Legal - Non-Solicitation agreement advice

[Daydreamer]

Hey everyone,

Long story short - there's a job posting in my town that looks amazing. I check all the boxes including the 'big plus if you have this' ones. I'm 90% sure given the posting and the field I am in that I would at least make it to an interview unless I really botch the application. The main hesitation is that I'm under a non-solicitation agreement (not a non-compete) and I would really prefer to not get sued. Anyone have an advice on if this is actually enforceable or if it's even worth the risk if my current company decided to try to enforce it while knowing it would fail?

-I'm in Texas, but the statement for the non-solicit states that it will fall under Missouri laws.
-It is absolutely a direct competing service, no question about that.
-My role will in no way be in sales or anything like that. Other people find the jobs and I would go out and do the jobs. I can't really see how I could solicit anything unless I sent a direct email to someone stating who my companies current clients are.
-There aren't really any trade secrets in my field. All the knowledge is publicly available online.

Usually those have a shelf life or if you leave early you have to pay back the signing bonus

That's another part where I believe it's not enforceable. There was no signing bonus or anything like that and I can't find any reason for them to have it other than they want to restrict where their employees can go.

These are really hard to enforce, especially in states like California.

Or Salad went crazy.

Who is "BG?"

[Krandor]

Clearly we are bridge guy and this entire website is just code talk for us to discuss our crimes

Who is "BG?"

The tl;dr

The mystery surrounding the murders of Libby German and Abby Williams remains unsolved.

On February 14, 2017, the bodies of Abigail "Abby" Williams and Liberty "Libby" German were discovered off a hiking trail in Delphi, Indiana. The young girls had disappeared from the same trail the previous day. Libby managed to record video of the suspect who's come to be known as Bridge Guy or BG for short.

Two years later, on April 22, 2019, Indiana State Police held a press conference in which they released new audio, a short video, as well as a new sketch of the suspect, made at the same time as the first sketch. (see below). This sketch is now considered the primary Person of Interest (POI) in this case. It's not currently known whether or not police possess DNA from the suspect or what was the cause of death.

Police insist the case is not a cold case. But three years later, no arrest has been made in the slayings —and police have remained mostly tight-lipped about the case.
