We provide experienced representation of financial services clients in Texas -- in the courthouse, before the regulators, and at the Legislature. Our lawyers have decades of experience in the adoption and interpretation of Texas laws governing commercial and consumer financing. Although an issue may appear new or unique, there is a good chance that we have already considered it and developed a practical solution, and that we participated in developing the law that will resolve it.

Financial Services-Regulatory Compliance and Legislation
Our lawyers have worked for decades with financial service industry leaders to develop the Texas laws governing commercial and consumer financing -- before the regulators, in the courts, and at the Legislature. We provide our clients with specific knowledge of the industry, knowledge of the regulators, and years of experience resolving creditors’ problems. We represent leading national financial services companies before the Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner of Texas, Texas Finance Commission, Consumer Protection Division of the Office of Attorney General, Texas Motor Vehicle Board (Texas Department of Transportation), Texas Department of Banking, Texas Commissioner of Savings and Mortgage Banking, Texas Department of Insurance and other state agencies.

Financial Services-Litigation
Our financial services litigation lawyers understand the impact of Texas’ complex finance laws on the industry and its practices. We have the skill and experience that comes from decades representing national financial services companies in litigation statewide and in arbitration. Our representation has included defense of class actions, lender liability claims, usury and other claims under the Texas Finance Code, Attorney General Civil Investigative Demands, claims under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, claims under the Texas Occupations Code, claims by dealers against financiers, defense of suits against equipment lessors, and defense of consumer and regulatory actions.
