Government Representation and Litigation

Government entities and local municipalities face daily challenges that require specialized legal advice and analysis.  With increasing responsibilities and financial constraints, these legal challenges can easily overwhelm municipal resources.

The Randle Law Office Ltd., L.L.P. represents government entities and local municipalities throughout the Houston, Texas area in a range of litigation and regulatory matters, and regularly counsels local governments in relation to other municipal issues, such as land development and zoning.

Land Development

Our attorneys have significant experience handling real estate law and land development matters in both the private and public sectors.  We have represented governments and municipalities, including city councils and local planning and zoning agencies, in connection with a wide variety of legal matters arising in the course of land development, including: condemnation and eminent domain matters and litigation, administrative hearings and appeals related to zoning, conditional use permits, variances, and other matters.

Acting City Attorneys and Outside Counseling Services

The Randle Law Office Ltd., L.L.P. has significant experience advising local municipalities in a wide range of day-to-day legal issues, and currently serves as acting city attorneys to four municipalities. In addition, we are frequently retained for municipalities and government entities that have existing legal counsel.

Municipalities deal with a host of legal issues related to governance and operational matters.  Like businesses, local cities and counties enter into contractual relationships for services and equipment purchases, own real property and trademarks (such as police departments and government seals), are employers, and are frequently named as defendants in lawsuits.  Unlike businesses, however, government entities are subject to distinct laws which constrain their actions, and govern how and when government entities can be sued. 

We understand the myriad of specific laws and regulations constraining municipal actions and governing lawsuits against government bodies, and assist municipal clients by providing creative and practical solutions to the legal challenges they face.  We currently represent the City of Brazos Country, http://cityofbrazoscountry.com,  the City of Fulshear, www.fulsheartx.com,  the City of Meadows Place, www.cityofmeadowsplace.org,  and the City of Mont Belvieu, www.montbelvieu.net;  and we have represented the City of Baytown, http://www.baytown.org/default.htm,  the City of Hedwig Village, http://cityofhedwigvillage.com,  the City of Pearland, www.ci.pearland.tx.us, the City of Rosenberg, http://www.ci.rosenberg.tx.us,  and the City of Cresson, in ad hoc litigation.
