Biography
Conor Harvey is a highly motivated, creative, and seasoned lawyer, with a level of courtroom experience usually found in lawyers far more senior. He has significant appellate skills, deep knowledge of the Texas Supreme Court, and outstanding analytical and writing abilities. Mr. Harvey brings keen insights and innovative legal arguments to all of his cases. As an appellate practitioner, he has counseled clients at every level of the Texas and federal justice systems.
Mr. Harvey has handled every stage of civil litigation: including drafting initial pleadings or answers, seeking and repelling discovery, taking and defending depositions, and handling high-stakes claims and defenses at trial—where he has briefed and argued motions in limine, directed verdicts, jury charges, motions for new trial, and more.
An eighth-generation Texan born and raised in Houston, Mr. Harvey's devotion to Texas runs deep. Appointed by Governor Abbott and confirmed by the Texas Senate, he serves as a commissioner of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, the state-wide agency of more than 100 employees that sets and enforces standards that ensure the citizens of Texas are served by highly trained and ethical law enforcement, corrections, and telecommunications personnel.
Mr. Harvey also maintains an active and diverse pro bono practice focusing on religious liberty disputes.
