Thomas Beaudry

Biography

Thomas joined the firm of counsel in 2021 after a long career that included eleven years as a family court associate judge in another Texas county. Having decided several thousand family matters himself, he has an unusually clear sense of what a judge is actually listening for.

He handles the firm's appellate work, including restricted appeals and mandamus petitions, and he supervises any case where a valuation expert is involved. A business valuation report is a document most family lawyers read once. Thomas reads them for a living.

His other area is military divorce. Fort Bliss is one of the largest installations in the country and military families face rules nobody else does: the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act stay, the Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act, the ten-year rule for direct pay, survivor benefit plan elections, and deployment provisions in a possession order.

Thomas mentors the firm's associates and sits in on every trial preparation session, whether or not he is on the case.
