OPINION

Appellants, William Butler (Butler) and ReGlaze, Incorporated (ReGlaze), appeal the trial court’s final judgment and issuance of a permanent injunction enjoining them from doing business in Harris and Fort Bend Counties pursuant to a covenant not to compete clause in Butler’s previous employment agreement with appellee, Arrow Mirror and Glass, Incorporated (Arrow), Butler’s former employer. In three points of error, Butler and ReGlaze claim (1) the covenant not to compete is unenforceable as a matter of law, (2) the issuance of the permanent injunction was improper, and (3) the court erred in enjoining ReGlaze because it was not a party to the covenant not to compete. Arrow has filed three cross-points claiming the trial court erred by (1) narrowing the geographical scope of the covenant not to compete, (2) failing to award Arrow damages, and (3) failing to award Arrow its attorney’s fees. We affirm in part and reverse and render in part.
