About Jon R.
Jon R. Boyd is a Texas-licensed lawyer whose career spans private practice, firm leadership and solo practice. He took a conventional path into law, completing a B.B.A. at Southern Methodist University in 1976 where he studied real estate and tax law, then earning a J.D. from the University of Houston. Those early academic choices have left an imprint on the kinds of work he has handled over several decades.
After law school he entered practice in Texas and built a practice that has included both partnerships and solo work. He was a partner and owner at Boyd and Boyd, LLP beginning in 1997. In 2007 he established a family practice under Boyd Family Law, PLLC as a sole practitioner. He has also served as a partner at Cotten Schmidt, LLP and operates the Law Office of Jon R. Boyd. The record shows a steady presence in local courts and firms rather than a brief or intermittent engagement in the profession.
His bar admissions include the State of Texas and the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Those credentials allow him to represent clients in both state and certain federal proceedings. Over the years his practice has involved family law matters and related civil issues, drawing in part on his undergraduate training in real estate and tax subjects when cases touched on those areas.
Boyd has maintained memberships in many county and specialty bar organizations. He belongs to the Tarrant County and Denton County bar associations and is active in the Family Section of the State Bar of Texas. He has been a member of the Collin County and Dallas bar associations since the mid-1990s, and joined the Hood County bar association in 2018. These affiliations reflect a long-running engagement with the legal community across multiple North Texas counties.
Colleagues and clients have found him steady and practical in approach. He has moved between firm and solo environments and handled the administrative and substantive responsibilities that come with ownership of a practice. That blend of roles has required managing client files, court appearances and firm operations rather than focusing solely on courtroom advocacy.
He continues to practice from the Law Office of Jon R. Boyd and remains admitted to both Texas courts and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. He currently focuses his work on family law matters and related civil issues in Texas.
