We’re based in the heart of Houston and represent families across Harris County and the greater metro area.
Hicks Family Lawyers represents families throughout Harris County in divorce, child custody, child support, property division, and other family law matters. Our Houston office is located in Harris County, giving clients a local place to meet with our team. Family law matters in Harris County are handled through the county’s Family District Courts, with the Harris County Civil Courthouse at 201 Caroline Street serving as the primary local court location for most filings, and the 280th District Court at 1200 Congress handling protective order matters separately. Whether your case is straightforward or involves significant business or real estate holdings, we bring the same corporate-caliber rigor to every stage of the process.
Whatever brought you here, chances are we will handle it. Here is the range of family law matters we work on for Harris County clients:
Hicks Family Lawyers serves clients throughout Harris County, including Houston, West University Place, Bellaire, Katy, Cypress, Spring, Humble, and Pasadena, and nearby communities. If your city or neighborhood is not listed, contact us to confirm coverage.

Hicks Family Lawyers’ office sits in Midtown Houston, inside Harris County, giving Harris County clients a genuine local office rather than a remote arrangement. Whether your matter is headed to one of the county’s Family District Courts or to the 280th’s protective order docket, our team is a short drive from both. Video and phone consultations remain available whenever an in-person visit is not practical.
Hicks Family Lawyers pairs family law representation with more than 27 years of corporate law experience. Business interests, executive compensation, and complex property receive the same rigor as custody and support. That depth matters most when a family’s finances are not simple, and it sets our approach apart from firms that treat family law as a single, general practice.
Harris County’s family law docket runs through ten general-docket Family District Courts at the Harris County Civil Courthouse, plus the 280th District Court, the county’s dedicated protective order court, at a separate location. We know which court handles which type of matter, and we prepare every filing with that structure in mind.
No attorney can guarantee a result, but every Harris County client working with us walks into hearings, negotiations, and decisions fully prepared. We explain what Texas law actually means for your specific situation before you commit to anything, so you always understand where you stand and what comes next.
Our consultation process is straightforward and built around three things you need before any decisions get made:
We listen first. Tell us what is happening. The short version is fine, and we will ask the questions that matter.
We explain what Texas law says. In plain English. No lecture, no scare tactics, no pressure.
We map the next step. You leave the call knowing what happens next and what it will likely take, in time and cost, to get there.
Harris County family law matters are filed with the Harris County District Clerk. Most are assigned to one of the county’s ten general-docket Family District Courts at the Harris County Civil Courthouse on Caroline Street; protective order cases go to the 280th District Court at 1200 Congress instead.
Whichever works for your life. Our Midtown office is available for in-person meetings and hearings, and we also work with clients entirely by video and phone when that’s a better fit.
Not for whether we can help you. Harris County cases are filed and heard the same way regardless of whether you’re in the inner loop, Katy, Cypress, or Pasadena. If your community isn’t listed above, call and we’ll confirm coverage.
That changes some of the jurisdictional analysis, particularly for custody matters under Texas’s version of the UCCJEA. Bring the details to a consultation and we’ll map out what it means for your case.
It depends on complexity, contested issues, and whether business or high-asset property is involved. We’ll give you a clear picture of scope and likely cost during your consultation, not after you’re already committed.
We aren’t just here to get you through a divorce. As Hicks Family Lawyers, we are your partner for what comes next, whatever that looks like for your family and what you’ve built. Whatever stage you are at, whether you are still deciding or already need representation, Harris County families deserve an attorney who treats their transition with the seriousness it carries, backed by the full reach of our Texas family law practice.
Our office sits minutes from the Harris County Civil Courthouse, and we meet Harris County clients in person, by video, or by phone, whatever fits the moment you’re in.
