About Derbha Ann Houston
Derbha Ann Houston Jones earned her Juris Doctor from Texas Wesleyan School of Law in 2001 after receiving a Bachelor of Science from Northeast Louisiana University in 1980. The two degrees bookend a long period of professional and life experience that preceded her decision to pursue law.
That gap between degrees is visible on her resume, and it suggests a nontraditional path to the bar. She completed undergraduate studies in 1980 and returned to formal legal education more than two decades later. The shift into law at that stage shaped the way she approaches cases and client matters; it brought prior workplace experience into the practice of law.
Jones has established her career in Texas. Records show she has been listed in professional association membership since 2002 and that listing continues through the present. She has practiced in the state environment and maintained connections to peers and colleagues over many years. Those ties provide a steady professional backdrop to her day-to-day legal work.
Observers of long-standing practitioners often note a practical style: careful preparation, steady courtroom presence, and a readiness to handle detailed client work. Jones’s trajectory fits that pattern. Her legal training came at a mature stage in life and has been applied to the kinds of matters that demand both legal analysis and real-world judgment. She balances written advocacy with face-to-face client counseling and procedural work.
Public records list office locations in Texas, though public listings do not detail firm names or office addresses in the material provided here. What does appear consistently is an ongoing practice and a continuing membership in legal groups dating back to 2002. That continuity reflects an attorney who has remained professionally engaged over multiple decades.
Outside of courtroom and office routines, her background provides context for how she handles client problems. A long view of career and education informs case strategy and client communication. She remains based in Texas and continues to work on matters arising under state law.
Her current practice concentrates on serving clients in the state of Texas.
