THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!

Our house, built 1896

Thanks

I am in the final turn for my second semester of law school and it seems an appropriate time to take a minute to pause and reflect. My classmates and professors are some of the highest caliber people I've ever been privileged to know. For some fortuitous reason, I've wound up in the exact right school, with exactly the right associates, at the exact right time.

There is no way I could possibly have attended A&M University School of Law without many pieces falling exactly into place. I owe a huge debt to my wife Heather and our children; Annie, Sebastian, Sophia, Emma, Maria, Deana, Preston, Louisa, and Lily. "One-Alpha" and "One-Bravo" dogs Dozer and Atticus along with "Auxiliary" dog Hank have been protecting the family from stray felons, various tortfeasors, library patrons, letter carriers, and the occasional squirrel during the periods that I'm away in class or at the office. Cats Pounce and 77 used to be quite effective, but now spend most of the hour a day that they are awake either avoiding Hank or trying to figure out how to get at the herons nesting above the house. They get honorable mention anyway.

Appreciation is also due to my clients, employers, associates, and colleagues. Please be assured of my continuing gratitude for all that you do! If anyone's in the neighborhood of West Main Street in Waxahachie during the evening hours, I'll be on the porch reading "Estates in Land and Future Interests." You're always welcome for an espresso or glass of wine.

Thanks,

Paul
