Texas counsel does not have to import outside expertise to build a federal case. MI:33 is based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and every matter is run by one of the two principals who built the firm, not handed to a contractor working a national queue. That distinction carries real weight here. Texas runs one of the busiest trademark and counterfeiting dockets in the country, and a firm treating it as a satellite market misses the ground-level knowledge that wins these cases: which venues move fast, what local judges expect, which sellers are testing the market before they scale statewide. We built our national case record doing this exact work, and we do it from inside the state where you practice. The question is not whether your matter needs an investigator who understands Texas. It’s why you would hire one who doesn’t.
What Texas counsel gets
Every matter is run by Rob or Jason Holmes, the two principals who built the firm. You are not routed through an intake desk or passed to a junior three states away. You call, you get a principal, and that principal stays on the matter start to finish.
We know the Northern and Eastern Districts of Texas, and the state courts around them. When a matter moves toward filing, it moves through venue we already understand, not one we are learning on your dime.
Texas carries one of the country’s busiest trademark dockets. We establish whether a mark is actually used, date first use, and document the gaps that signal abandonment, the same evidence timeline we put in front of the USPTO, the TTAB, or a federal judge nationwide.
DFW retail, warehousing, and e-commerce fulfillment draw counterfeit traffic like any major metro. We find the goods, identify the sellers, and trace the supply chain toward its source, the same undercover method we run nationwide, just closer to where you are.
Some matters need a face in the room: a meeting with counsel, a site visit, a hand-delivered cease-and-desist letter. Headquartered in the Metroplex means that does not require a plane ticket.
