2023-2024 Chair Board of Trustees

“The Texas Bar Foundation strengthens Texas every year by supporting victims of domestic, elderly, and child abuse, fighting human trafficking, and promoting pro bono projects. The hard work and generosity of the Foundation’s Fellows have provided more than 25 million dollars to further the Foundation’s mission. This year the Foundation will do more and do it better as it enhances justice and the lives of Texans."

 

Applause For The Texas Bar Foundation

The Foundation is finishing another remarkable year, thanks to Texas attorneys’, law firms’, and others’ contributions of their time, talent, and treasure.

I know firsthand about these contributions. In 1991, I was nominated to be a Foundation Fellow – a highlight of my legal career. I have since served as a co-chair of the Foundation’s District 10 Nominating Committee and a member of the Board of Trustees. Now, three decades after my involvement began, I am proud to be a Sustaining Life Fellow. . . .
