Personal Information
Sam Houston grew up in a small, West Texas town of Colorado City, about halfway between Midland and Abilene. He learned the value of hard work helping at his family’s small hardware and auto parts store. No job was too small for Sam, from sweeping floors to helping customers assemble bicycles. From there Sam went on to learn the value of the law from his grandfather, which then led him to become a lawyer. He attended the University of Texas at Austin and Baylor Law School. Today Sam serves as a partner at Shepherd, Scott, Clawater & Houston, LLP. A successful, practicing attorney for 26 years, Sam lives in Houston with his wife Jantha and their two children.
