Description
This is an interlocutory appeal from the trial court's grant of a temporary injunction. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(a)(4) (Vernon Supp. 2004). Appellant Jeff Fox, individually and doing business as Freshwater Fish, Inc., appeals from the trial court's order enjoining him and his agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and all those acting on his behalf ("representatives") from (1) altering, destroying, or using information contained in a rolodex and computer that he removed from appellee Tropical Warehouses, Inc.'s premises and (2) selling tropical freshwater fish within Texas to Wal-Mart or Petco. In four issues, Fox contends that the trial court abused its discretion in granting the temporary injunction because (i) the items Tropical Warehouses, Inc. (TWI) seeks to enjoin Fox from using are not trade secrets, (ii) there is no evidence Fox used any trade secrets of TWI to gain a competitive advantage over TWI, (iii) there is no evidence TWI has suffered any irreparable harm, and (iv) TWI has not shown the absence of an adequate remedy at law. We modify the temporary injunction and affirm it as modified.
