Cases Handles in Texas & Federal Courts
Trusted Local Counsel in Texas State & Federal Courts
At the Law Offices of Hector Peña PLLC, we understand what out-of-town lawyers need from local counsel: clear communication, reliable on-the-ground support, and a lawyer who knows the judges, juries, and procedures in West Texas and South Texas. Hector serves as local counsel and co-counsel in serious personal injury, 18-wheeler, oil-field, wrongful death, and state or federal criminal cases, helping referring firms protect their clients and their cases.
From Mission in the Rio Grande Valley to Odessa, Pecos, Midland, and beyond, Hector bridges the gap between your team and the local courts. He combines deep regional knowledge with federal practice experience, bilingual skills (Se Habla Español), and a practical understanding of how cases actually move through Texas courtrooms. When you trust him as local counsel, you gain a hands-on partner—not just a name on the docket.

Our Foundational Roots in Texas Courts
We are not a typical local counsel arrangement. Our practice is rooted in the real-world experiences of our founder, Hector Peña, who was born and raised in Mission, Texas, and built his career serving working families and communities across the Rio Grande Valley and West Texas.
Before dedicating his life to law, Hector spent years working in the demanding oil and refinery industries of West Texas. He knows what it means to rely on a paycheck, to work long shifts in dangerous conditions, and to face serious consequences when something goes wrong. That background gives him a unique connection to many of the clients and witnesses whose stories are at the heart of your cases.
Today, that same lived experience fuels his commitment to stand up for people in Texas state and federal courts—and to stand beside the law firms who entrust their clients to him as local counsel. When you bring Hector onto a case, you gain not only a lawyer who understands the law, but an advocate who understands the people in front of the jury box.
Personalized Support & Unwavering Commitment to Co-Counsel
From the moment you hire the firm, you gain direct access to Hector. He takes the time to understand your story, answer your questions, and explain your options in clear terms. Every strategy is tailored to your situation — not copied from a template.
We know legal matters are stressful and time-sensitive. We prioritize quick responses, clear updates, and honest guidance so you’re never left wondering what’s happening with your case.
As a proud bilingual attorney (Se Habla Español), Hector bridges the language gap for many families in the Rio Grande Valley, West Texas, and throughout the state, ensuring you can communicate comfortably while still receiving top-tier representation in English-speaking courtrooms.
Strategic, Co-Counsel–Centered Solutions
At the Law Offices of Hector Peña PLLC, we don’t just file local documents and step aside. We work with you to build practical, strategic plans tailored to your client, your case theory, and the realities of the court where your matter will be heard.
By combining Hector’s courtroom experience with his knowledge of Texas judges, jury pools, and local procedures, we help you anticipate issues before they arise—whether you’re handling a catastrophic injury case, a complex oil-field accident, an 18-wheeler collision, a wrongful death claim, or a serious state or federal criminal charge.
We regularly serve as local counsel in West Texas, the Rio Grande Valley, and select federal courts, always with a focus on honest communication, strong advocacy, and meaningful results for your client. Our role is to give you confidence that the case is being presented the right way, in the right forum, with the right partner by your side.
