HOUSTON, TEXAS, August 11, 2026  Crain Caton & James, a Houston law firm, announced today that 13 of its attorneys have been named to the 2026 Texas Super Lawyers list, published by Thomson Reuters. The honorees were recognized in environmental law, family law, estate and probate, estate and trust litigation, real estate, banking, intellectual property, general litigation, and employment and labor.

Super Lawyers names no more than five percent of the attorneys in a state each year. Selection is based on a process of peer nominations and independent research that evaluates professional achievement and peer recognition across more than 70 practice areas.

“The Texas Super Lawyers list is often where clients and other lawyers start when they are deciding who to trust with a matter. Having 13 of our attorneys on it, many named year after year, reflects a reputation built over time rather than in any single year.”
