About J. Kurt
J. Kurt Bouillion earned his law degree from South Texas College of Law in 2016. Before turning to law he completed graduate work at the University of Houston–Clear Lake, earning an M.S. in Curriculum and Instruction in 2005 and an M.A. in Literature in 2001. He holds a B.A. in Communications, concentrating in public relations and general business, from Stephen F. Austin State University, listed as completed in 1992.
Bouillion is licensed to practice in Texas. He established The Law Office of J. Kurt Bouillion, PLLC in 2017 and serves there as shareholder and lawyer. The firm operates under his name and concentrates on matters handled out of his Texas license.
His professional memberships are broad and suggest several practice interests. He joined the Texas Trial Lawyers Association and the Houston Trial Lawyers Association in 2018. He is a member of the Houston Bar Association and belongs to the Texas Association of Mediators. He also holds memberships in the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers and the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. Since 2018 he has provided pro bono services through the Houston Volunteer Lawyers Association.
Those affiliations point to work that ranges across civil litigation, mediation and consumer-facing practice areas. He maintains an active interest in trial practice through his trial lawyer memberships and in alternative dispute resolution through his mediator association. His involvement in bankruptcy and elder-law organizations indicates work on consumer financial and eldercare issues as well.
Colleagues and clients encounter a lawyer whose academic background spans literature, education and communications before he entered the bar. That mix of study has informed how he frames legal questions and communicates in written and oral advocacy. He has combined those strands into a private practice that opened after his law school graduation and operates under the firm name he founded.
He practices in Texas and his current work covers trial matters, mediation, consumer bankruptcy and elder law, including pro bono representation through local legal aid networks.
