Adams & Reese Houston Attorneys Named 2026 Texas Super Lawyers and Rising Stars

Adams & Reese Houston attorneys have been recognized on the 2026 Texas Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. This annual, peer-reviewed recognition honors attorneys who demonstrate outstanding professional achievement and dedication to their practice.

Thomson Reuters' Texas Super Lawyers selection process is competitive and recognizes exceptional attorneys across more than 70 practice areas. Each year, only five percent of Texas attorneys receive the Super Lawyers designation, and just 2.5 percent qualify for the Rising Stars list. Honorees are chosen using a patented, multiphase selection process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews by practice area. The Rising Stars designation carries an added distinction, spotlighting emerging attorneys who are 40 years of age or younger or have been in practice for no more than 10 years.

The 2026 Texas Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists are published in Super Lawyers magazine as well as in a special section of Texas Monthly.
