Syllabus

Denying the defendants' motion to dismiss under TRCP 91a. To the extent that the plaintiffs' breach-of-fiduciary-duty and knowing-participation claims are based on conduct independent of any alleged trade-secret-misappropriation, those claims are not preempted by TUTSA. The defendant may be charged with the knowledge its agents acquired while conducting the defendant's business. The plaintiffs, therefore, adequately pled the knowledge element of their knowing-participation claim.
