What is the name of your state? TX

i have a trade secret question. I need to know the texas case that is applicable in the following scenario:

mr. x has a successful bbq sauce recipe that he has had for years. his bbq restaurant does well because of this secret recipe. The sauce is considered a trade secret and he keeps this recipe locked in his desk drawer. only mr x has the key to this drawer. There is a flood and during the clean up of the flood the desk is dropped and the drawer is opened. somehow, mr p, mr x's major competition, gets hold of this secret recipe. he advertises on a sign that if you liked mr x's bbq sauce, you'll love our new sauce...mr x is now losing business because mr p is closer to a main highway. What grounds does mr x have to sue and what state law or laws are applicable?
