About Jose
Jose Noriega built his legal foundation in the Midwest before settling into practice in Texas. He completed a Juris Doctor at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2009 after earning a Bachelor of Arts from Texas Tech University in 2006. The sequence of degrees maps a steady academic path that led him into the practice of law.
Noriega’s time at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School covered substantive coursework and practical skills typical of a two-year JD program. He graduated in 2009 and moved into the state legal community. His undergraduate years at Texas Tech gave him a liberal arts background and local ties to the region where he now practices.
After law school, Noriega entered the Texas legal market. He is admitted to practice in Texas and has worked in roles that exposed him to the procedural and substantive demands of state courts. Over the years he has dealt with litigation calendars, client counseling, and the filing and management of matters through trial preparation. Those routine duties form the backbone of his courtroom and courtroom-adjacent experience.
He maintains an active connection to the local bar. Noriega is a current member of the Dallas Bar Association, where he participates in professional programming and community events. That association keeps him engaged with continuing legal education, local practice trends, and collegial exchange among Dallas-area lawyers.
Noriega currently practices at Tidwell Lawyers, PLLC. At the firm he works on matters that require attention to Texas procedural rules and local court practice. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in approach: he seeks clear options, prioritizes client communication, and prepares cases for the demands of the courtroom when litigation is necessary. His work reflects a focus on practical outcomes and managing the daily tasks that advance a client’s position.
Outside of casework, Noriega keeps up with developments in Texas law through the bar and through routine professional education. He is available through his firm for consultation and representation in matters that arise under Texas law. He handles legal matters that arise under Texas law at Tidwell Lawyers, PLLC.
