Sometimes the heaviness of clients' cases lofts a little dark cloud over my head that's hard to shake. Today I decided to take about 15 minutes to walk The Katy Trail to clear the cloud.

Let me tell you how my "mental health break" went: About 100 steps in I saw a friend/colleague biking my way. He stopped and got off his call, I told him why I was there and we spent the next 15 minutes talking about cases and other things. It was not what I'd planned but helpful in its own way.

When we parted I felt sprinkles and thought it'd be better to go back to the car because it'd be far worse to get caught in my suit in a downpour. 😂

It didn't rain but I'm feeling better. Cloud is gone? Probably. But it's still overcast.

Everybody, take care of yourself! 😄

Just got a probation discharged in Travis County for a client who'd been on the run for 12 years!

Now he can live without looking over his shoulder.

Some jury rooms have candy bowls. In Parker County it's a bowl of handcuffs.

It only takes a few seconds to clean the impound markings off your car. Give it a shot!

Rockwall has the most impressive jury boxes I've ever seen.

Hill County District Court. This place is like a time capsule and the District Attorneys are tough here. I hear they're getting 70 and 80 year verdicts from juries on drug cases. 😧

I'm not going to brag about what I got for my client today beyond saying the prosecutors were fair and my client is satisfied.

Now, back to Dallas!🛤

In Hill County today helping a client get his life back on track. Beautiful throwback courtroom, photos taken with permission of the judge. They've had fires and storms but they put it all back together. Judge tells me the basement is the most beautiful part of the building.
