About Terrell William
Terrell William Proctor has spent decades in and around the courthouse. His career mixes courtroom work, judicial service and steady civic involvement. He is a familiar name in several Harris County bar organizations and on statewide committees.
He earned his law degree from South Texas College of Law, listed as J.D. (1964). Before that he completed a B.S. in Marketing and Management with a minor in Accounting at the University of Tulsa (1956) and finished the classroom hours toward an MBA. Those academic years preceded a long professional life in Texas law.
Early in his career he served roles that bridged local government and the courts. Records show involvement with the City of Jacinto City, Texas, and participation on three State Bar of Texas committees. In 1984 he served as an Associate District Judge of the 246th Family District Court of Harris County. That judicial post put him in the family court arena and gave him experience adjudicating domestic matters.
He is admitted to practice in Texas and before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Across decades he has kept ties to organized bar work. He has been active in the North Harris County Bar Association, where he served as president three times and held the offices of vice-president and secretary on multiple occasions. He has served on the board of the Houston Trial Lawyers Association and chaired a committee that succeeded in getting a bill passed by the Texas Legislature. He has also been on the board of the Houston Lawyer Referral Service and served as secretary of the Greater North Channel Bar Association.
Proctor’s career includes both leadership and hands-on legal work. He has combined roles in local bar groups, state committees and municipal matters. Colleagues and association records note repeated terms in office, suggesting a steady presence rather than short stints. His judicial service in family court remains a clear marker on his résumé.
He practices from T. W. Proctor & Associates. The firm name is how he appears in local directories and filings. His practice today continues to reflect the mixture of judicial, organizational and municipal experience that has defined his career. He now practices at T. W. Proctor & Associates, where his work draws on his judicial and bar experience.
