Byron L. Brown is a San Antonian-turned-Houstonian whose bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from the University of Texas at San Antonio segued into a law degree from the University of Houston Law Center. What he intended to be a brief stint in Houston for law school turned into a new homestead when a clerkship at Randle Law Office during law school kindled into his joining the team of Randle Law Office attorneys shortly after becoming licensed. Mr. Brown has an affinity for grammar and punctuation—which fuels a perpetual intraoffice debate about the use of the “Oxford comma”—and a nearly eidetic memory for things he reads. Mr. Brown is an Eagle Scout who continues to live the Scout Oath, Law, and Motto. When Mr. Brown is not in the office, he is usually enjoying modern suburban family life with his wife, Catherine, and daughter, Leanne.
