About Amy B
Amy B Hargis trained for law in Texas. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies from Texas A&M University in 2008 and completed her J.D. at South Texas College of Law in 2011. Those years shaped her legal foundation and led directly into courtroom and office work that followed.
Her first legal position came during law school when she served as a judicial intern at the Fourteenth Court of Appeals in 2009. After passing the bar, she joined The Shanks Law Office in 2011 as an associate and then moved to Doyle Raizner, LLP in 2012. She began at Raizner Slania, LLP as an associate in 2015 and was elevated to partner in 2021. The progression shows steady movement into roles with increasing responsibility.
Colleagues describe Hargis as a lawyer who prefers the procedural side of litigation and the demands of trial practice. Her memberships in the Houston Trial Lawyers Association and the American Association for Justice align with that work. She also belongs to the State Bar of Texas and the American Bar Association, organizations that support continuing education and professional standards.
Beyond the courtroom, Hargis has taken on editorial and community roles. She serves on the Editorial Board of The Houston Lawyer for the Houston Bar Association and participates in the Young Alumni Council at South Texas College of Law. She is also involved with the Young Friends of DePelchin board. Those roles have kept her connected to legal publishing, alumni networks, and local nonprofit efforts.
People who have worked with Hargis point to a steady approach in case preparation and an attention to written work. Her editorial board position suggests an interest in legal writing and the mechanics of publishing legal thought. Over time she has moved from associate-level work into firm leadership, handling the tasks that come with partnership, including mentoring younger attorneys and managing client matters.
She is admitted to practice in Texas and spends her time at Raizner Slania LLP. Her practice centers on civil litigation and trial matters, where she represents clients in court proceedings and related pretrial work.
