Hello, and welcome to the Government Law Section of the State Bar of Texas! We are excited to tell you about a few initiatives we’re working on for the 2019-2020 year. Our council is establishing an “Amicus Committee” to assist small municipalities in need of amicus briefs at the appellate level. More information to come in the months ahead. Additionally, we’re making headway to have Local Government Law recognized as a legal specialization in Texas. This is a very distinctive practice area, and we welcome your support for this initiative! And as in the past, we’re bringing CLEs to our colleagues with road shows – coming soon to a city near you! Stay tuned.
