The new firm brings together decades of experience advising and representing Texas cities, counties, special districts, and other public entities.
HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, September 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- David & Stephens LLP, a new Houston-based law firm founded by partners Kate David and Ben Stephens, has launched to serve Texas governmental entities, including cities, counties, transit authorities, water and special districts, higher education and other public bodies. Robert Eckels, former Harris County Judge and current Chairman of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC), and Mike Stafford, former Harris County Attorney, have joined the firm as Of Counsel, along with a team of attorneys and staff dedicated to Texas public law.
The firm's work spans three practice areas: Policy Advice, Land Acquisition, and Constitutional Litigation, each anchored by dedicated experience: from the regulatory and governance questions public entities face day to day, to the land use and right-of-way matters behind public infrastructure, to the constitutional and civil rights challenges that test public decisions once they're made. Many matters call on a single practice area. Others move across more than one, and the firm's structure means clients don't have to look elsewhere when that happens.
"Public entities carry a different kind of responsibility than private clients do. They answer to the communities they serve, and we built this firm to answer to them the same way," said Kate David, founding partner of David & Stephens.
"Whether it's a policy question, an acquisition, or a courtroom fight, our clients need counsel that understands the full weight of representing the public. That's what David & Stephens is built for," said Ben Stephens, founding partner of David & Stephens.
David & Stephens is based in Houston and serves public entities throughout Texas.
