About Robert Allan
Robert Allan Tarleton earned his law degree from SMU Dedman School of Law in 2009. He moved into practice in Texas soon after graduation, building a practice that is anchored in the state.
He spent his early years learning the practical side of law. Those years were a mix of courtroom appearances, client meetings and the steady paperwork that keeps a practice running. Tarleton has worked through the typical demands of small-firm practice, learning how to manage both cases and client expectations.
Tarleton practices from Tarleton Law Office PLLC. The firm name matches his own, and he is identified with its work in filings and in court dockets across Texas. He handles matters that come through the door and responds directly to clients who are seeking legal guidance within the state. His office handles casework and counseling that reflect the pace and paperwork of regional practice.
Clients and colleagues describe him as practical and straightforward. He favors clear explanations over legal jargon. That approach shows in the way he conducts client interviews and prepares for hearings. In hearings he prefers to keep arguments focused and durable rather than ornate. That style has guided much of his daily practice.
Throughout his career he has remained centered in Texas. That continuity has given him familiarity with local court procedures and the expectations of judges and clerks around the state. He has worked with a variety of clients, from individual litigants to small businesses. The work has required a range of tasks: drafting pleadings, negotiating settlements and appearing at hearings.
Tarleton balances casework with the administrative demands of running a law office. He is responsible for client intake, file management and the ongoing obligations that keep a practice in compliance with professional rules. Those duties shape how he allocates time between court dates and client consultations.
As of 2026 Tarleton practices at Tarleton Law Office PLLC, serving clients in Texas.
