Gouldbusk Lawyers

I'm passionate about the research and writing intrinsic to Texas and Federal appellate and post-conviction writ work. After growing up in Decatur, Texas, and getting a master's degree in education, my first career found me teaching English in high schools in Decatur and Hallsville, Texas. After much thought, I decided to switch careers and get a law degree at the University of North Texas Dallas College of Law to focus on appellate advocacy. Law was a natural and seemingly inevitable choice as my parents both retired from jobs in the legal realm. I frequently use and sharpen skills, including attention to detail...

My immediate family farms throughout New Mexico, West Texas and Oklahoma. In fact, my grandfather drove a tractor until the day that he passed at the ripe old age of 89. As they say where I’m from: "He died with his cowboy boots on." I was in my first semester of law school at that time, and the time and expense of the estate process was so traumatizing to my family that I was sure the estate attorney had committed malpractice. As it turned out, he did what many estate attorneys do. I knew then that I could do much better,...
