About William Arthur Agnew
William Arthur Agnew Jr. is an attorney licensed to practice in Texas. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Southern California in 1993 and completed his Juris Doctor at South Texas College of Law in 1996. Those academic years set the stage for a career spent largely in public service and then private practice.
He began his legal work in local government. In 1997 he served as an Assistant County Lawyer at the Angelina County Lawyer's Office. Two years later he took a position as an Assistant District Lawyer at the Nacogdoches District Lawyer's Office. Those roles placed him inside county and district systems early in his career and gave him extended exposure to the workings of Texas trial courts.
In 2004 he served as the Defense Lawyer Representative on the 159th Judicial District Drug Court Board. That appointment put him in a position to engage with a specialized court process focused on drug-related cases. It also marked a rare instance of him serving in a capacity that explicitly represented defense perspectives on a judicial board.
Across his public-sector work and subsequent private practice, his background includes years of courtroom experience at both county and district levels. He has experience with litigation and case management that stems from time spent in prosecutorial and county legal offices, and from participation in a district drug court board. Colleagues describe a practitioner who understands procedural demands of state court dockets and the local rules that shape daily practice.
He practices at Agnew Law Office. The firm carries forward the regional ties he built in public service. He handles matters in Texas state courts and manages cases that reflect his experience in county and district settings. His current practice at Agnew Law Office handles a range of state-court matters in Texas.
