The Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act (TUTSA), found in Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §134A, offers business clients a number of specific protections, plus consistency for multistate operations. Last year Texas became the 48th state to adopt a version of the model Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Instead of waiting for a legal dispute, attorneys should help their business clients review the items considered to be trade secrets.
Part of that review includes auditing whether the clients have taken reasonable efforts to maintain secrecy. For example, TUTSA classifies a list of actual or potential customers or suppliers as a possible trade secret. Once a dispute arises, clients often want court protection for that list.
