About Brian
Brian Foley grew up studying politics and history and took those interests into law school. He earned a B.S. in Political Science and History from Texas A&M University in 2007 and a J.D. from Texas Tech University School of Law in 2010. An early Washington internship at the White House in 2005 appears on his resume and hints at an early taste for public service.
His legal career began while he was still in school. He worked as a law clerk in 2009 at Glasheen, Valles, Inderman & DeHoyos L.L.P. After graduation he joined the Brazos County Attorney’s Office as an Assistant County Attorney in 2010. Over the next decade he moved through a series of prosecutor’s offices across Texas, taking on increasingly serious criminal matters and courtroom responsibilities. In 2012 he served as a Felony Special Prosecutor for Madison County. The following year he worked as an Assistant District Attorney in Polk County. He later joined Montgomery County’s District Attorney’s Office in 2015 as an Assistant District Attorney and in 2019 became Felony Chief Prosecutor in Harris County.
Along the way he has taken part in the profession beyond courtroom work. He served on an editorial board for the Texas District and County Attorneys Association in 2014. He also holds membership in the Texas Bar Association and the Texas Bar College. His credentials include board certification in Criminal Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a credential that marks a recognized concentration in criminal practice under Texas standards.
In 2021 Foley left the prosecutor’s office to open his own firm. As Managing Partner at Brian Foley Law PLLC he returned to private practice and brought years of trial experience to his new role. He handles cases from arraignment through trial and manages the firm’s litigation strategy and courtroom work.
Colleagues describe Foley as deliberate in trial and attentive to case details. He has handled a range of felony matters across county and district court dockets. His background includes trial preparation, evidence presentation, and motion work at the felony level, drawing on years spent in prosecutor roles.
He continues to practice in Texas and splits his time between courtroom work and firm management. His current practice centers on criminal defense and trial work.
