I always appreciate the opportunity at the Annual Meeting to visit with our 50‑Year Lawyers. Listening to their reflections on a lifetime in the law offers a perspective you can’t get anywhere else. Congrats to the attorneys that reached the 50-year milestone. #SBOT26

Thankful for the dialogue at the Bench Bar Breakfast. It was nice to see Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock, Judge Jesse McClure, and Judge Victor Villarreal and to hear their remarks on the role of lawyers and judges in our society. #sbot26
