For approximately 40 years, Chuck Kimbrough has represented private parties, local governments, and the State of Texas in trial and appellate litigation — and has provided services to local governments across Texas (including counties, cities, school districts, and special districts) involving a wide range of professional practice areas such as: economic development, including tax abatement and state/local taxation; land use regulation, including subdivision, manufactured home rental community, floodplain management, and water/wastewater matters; eminent domain matters; business regulation matters; public land and infrastructure projects, including acquisition and disposition matters; contracts and interlocal governmental agreements; competitive procurement; open government matters; voting rights and redistricting; public official ethics; and general counsel services.

Prior to joining the Firm in 2003, Mr. Kimbrough served as the Criminal District Attorney of Caldwell County, Texas (1991-2002). He formerly was a partner of the law firm Blundell, Moore & Kimbrough in Lockhart, Texas (1981-1990). He is a member of the American Bar Association, Austin Bar Association, Bar Association of the Fifth Circuit, Caldwell County Bar Association, Champion of Justice Society of the Texas Access to Justice Foundation, Federal Bar Association (Austin Chapter), and Texas Aggie Bar Association.

Mr. Kimbrough is a graduate of Lockhart High School (1972), Texas A&M University (B.A.1976 and M.Agri. 1978), and South Texas College of Law (J.D. 1981). He is admitted to practice before the Texas Supreme Court (and all other state courts in Texas), the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and the United States District Courts for the Eastern, Northern, and Western Districts of Texas.

Mr. Kimbrough is a Fellow of the Texas Prosecutor Society of the Texas District & County Attorneys Association Foundation, and served as the President of the Caldwell County Bar Association when he practiced law in Caldwell County.

Mr. Kimbrough was the 2012 recipient of the James B.
