The Texas Lawbook Team Gives Thanks
When I started The Texas Lawbook 11 years ago this month, I had no idea what I was doing. My team may tell you that I still don’t. But the success The Lawbook has achieved seems like a miracle.
The reason: The Lawbook team. Without them, I would be operating a blog that not even my parents would pay to read. This week, I celebrate Thanksgiving because of my colleagues.

An Enduring Legacy of Service
Each day as a U.S. Army helicopter pilot in Pakistan and Afghanistan afforded the opportunity to help those in need. I doubt I’ll ever do anything that can match the intensity and exhilaration of serving in the military, which can make it even easier to live in the past. As tempting as that might be, it’s the obligation of every veteran to follow the example of the World War II generation and, for lack of a better phrase, get back to work.
It is my sincere hope that other veterans – particularly those of my vintage – can also find ways to continue serving.
