Chairman's Letter

Hello Friends,

Over the past couple of months more details are being released about the new Business Courts in Texas. There are 11 divisions throughout the state with five of the divisions based in major Texas cities. Governor Greg Abbott has now appointed the judges for the five divisions in those more populous areas i.e. Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. Governor Abbott has also appointed the judges for the new Fifteenth Court of Appeals which has exclusive jurisdiction to review matters from the Business Courts. The new Texas Business Courts are set to open on September 1, 2024.

As for job growth in Houston, there’s upbeat news this month — a new employment growth record was reached in May. Specifically, the city gained 16,100 jobs, surpassing the previous two months as 500 jobs were lost in March and 13,400 gained in April.

At BoyarMiller, our goal is to exceed your expectations with outstanding service. We are committed to providing strategic guidance that aligns with your business and legal objectives.

Sincerely,
