This position is an exempt position that requires the need for a valid Texas State Bar License in good standing.

Document processing, and/or record keeping, and preparation and presentation of legal cases in jury and bench trials is necessary to fulfill this position. Additionally, this person must be able to analyze cases and negotiate with other attorneys. Court room presence is required and frequent travel to other courts within the district is required.
