About Richard Trey Hicks
Richard Trey Hicks III built a straightforward legal path from a liberal arts undergraduate degree to a courtroom practice. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Texas A&M University, College Station, in 1993. He continued his studies at Cumberland School of Law at Samford University and received his J.D. in 1996.
After law school he established his practice in Texas and moved into roles that combined courtroom work and office leadership. He has been licensed to practice in Texas and pursued both public service and private practice over the years. Those early years set the tone for a career grounded in litigating and managing cases.
In 2007 he was elected Caldwell County Criminal District Lawyer and served two terms. In that post he handled the responsibilities commonly associated with a county district attorney: overseeing prosecutions, preparing cases for trial, and guiding staff attorneys. The role required frequent court appearances and close work with law enforcement and victims. Serving two terms gave him sustained experience in trial practice and case management at the county level.
Following his time in public office he returned to private practice. He founded The Law Office of Trey Hicks, where he continued to handle criminal matters and related work. His experience as a district attorney informs his approach when representing clients in court. He understands both sides of the courtroom and relies on that perspective when building cases and preparing for trial.
Hicks maintains memberships in professional legal associations and stays engaged in the local legal community. He participates in professional gatherings and continues to monitor changes in criminal statutes and court rules. That ongoing participation keeps him current on procedural developments and practical adjustments in trial practice.
Colleagues and court personnel describe him as pragmatic in the courtroom and attentive to the procedural details that can affect outcomes. He tends to prioritize direct communication with clients and clear explanations of options. He also places emphasis on preparation; trials and hearings are approached with attention to evidence and witness examination.
He practices from The Law Office of Trey Hicks, handling criminal law matters in Texas. His current practice focuses on representing clients in criminal cases and related courtroom proceedings.
