About Katie L.
Katie L. Cowart built a legal path that begins in the classroom and leads to a leadership role at a Texas law firm. She earned a Bachelor of Science from Bluefield College in 1998 and completed her law degree at South Texas College of Law in 2005. Those years shaped the foundations of her practice and prepared her for work inside Texas courts and offices.
Her formal training combined liberal arts and law. At Bluefield College she completed an undergraduate program that preceded law school by several years. She then moved to Houston to attend South Texas College of Law, finishing her Juris Doctor in 2005. That credential has anchored her legal career ever since.
Cowart's professional résumé lists her as a shareholder at Hendershot, Cowart, P.C. She holds that leadership role at the firm and participates in decisions that shape its operations. The title reflects both an ownership stake and an ongoing daily role advising clients and supervising matters handled by other lawyers at the firm.
Beyond the firm, Cowart maintains ties to the legal community in Houston. She is an active member of the Houston Young Lawyers Association, where she engages with peers and takes part in the association’s events and programs. Participation in that organization signals regular contact with the local bar and an interest in professional exchange among lawyers who practice in the city and state.
Colleagues describe Cowart as pragmatic in the office. She approaches client matters with an emphasis on clear analysis and practical outcomes. Her work is conducted under the rules of the Texas bar and within the procedural frameworks that govern litigation and transactional matters in the state. She balances casework and firm responsibilities, contributing to both client representation and firm administration.
Outside the office she has remained connected to Houston’s legal networks and the institutions that support new and mid-career lawyers. She continues to draw on her education from Bluefield College and South Texas College of Law as she mentors younger attorneys and manages complex files at the firm. Cowart concentrates her practice at Hendershot, Cowart, P.C., where she serves as a shareholder and handles the firm’s client matters in Texas.
