About Paul F.
Paul F. Wieneskie built his legal foundation at Baylor. He earned a B.A. in law and business at Baylor University and went on to receive a J.D. from Baylor Law School in 1982. Those years framed the start of a career that moved between municipal service, appellate work and private practice.

He has maintained ties to the local bar for several decades. He served as a director of the Arlington Bar from 1989 to 1992, moved on to be president-elect in 1992–1993, and then served as president during 1993–1994.

He is admitted to practice in Texas and in several federal forums, including the Fifth and Ninth Circuits and the United States Supreme Court.
