With a career stretching back over 25 years, there’s very little in the area of Family Law David Housel doesn’t have hands-on experience with. Those who work with David know him as accessible and available to his clients, whether that’s on a Tuesday evening or a Saturday morning. He’s a firm believer that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and that, should a problem arise, solving it as soon as possible benefits everyone involved.
David brings a strong work ethic and tenacious personality to the practice of law and is determined to get things done. As a child of divorce, Family Law is an area he’s deeply passionate about. He has vivid memories of interacting with lawyers and judges as a child and remembers the effect that had on him and his young brothers. Those experiences inform his work today. He wants to make sure that children are protected, their feelings are taken into account, and that their situation brings as little stress as possible into their lives.
When working with clients, planning for the future is at the forefront of David’s mind. For the stay-at-home parent, he wants to make sure they have an income source a year down the road. He wants the parents that just finalized an acrimonious divorce to remember their relationship will stretch years into the future and that they’ll need to find civil ways to interact with one another. David works hard to make these things a reality.
David is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Since 2021, he has been recognized by Thompson Reuters as a Texas Super Lawyer, an honor which only 5% of attorneys in the state receive each year. He has also been named among the Best Lawyers in America in the area of Family Law. David holds a rating of AV-Preeminent from Martindale-Hubbell, a rating given only to attorneys of the highest ethical standards and legal skill.
David received his law degree from the University of Houston Law Center. He enjoys spending time with his wife and children and regularly playing competitive volleyball.

Best Attorney in US - David Housel - Compassionate, Tenacious and driven for results
I was a victim of family violence. I had pretty much spent my last penny through "other" legal advise that took me no where. I was in fear when I arrived in his offices and moreover anything else, I wanted to know my rights as a single mom, for my child and myself. In comes our hero.... "David Hou...

8 years later.
David was amazingly helpful. 8 years after helping me with a bogus divorce case I needed the court documents and some advice as to the outcome and what it meant for a property sale I have pending. I called David and he picked up immediately. I explained who I was and he remembered me right away. He ...

Strong attorney
David took my case without hesitation. I was the custodial grandmother having issues with court ordered visitations as they related to a parent. The case was long and the parent made many mistakes along the way which David was quick to pick up on and communicated them effectively in court. He coached...

An attorney who did not respresent me at all, do not use him!
He did not inform me of what all I was entitled to. He did not represent me, but seem to side with my spouse, you would think my spouse was paying him. I tried to get him to have a forensic CPA search for funds that were not being disclosed. I was told that was not necessary. There were pie...

He made "the impossible" happen for me and my children.
I found myself in an awful situation in my marriage that left me not knowing where my children were for seven months. My husband at the time was dating a family law paralegal that coached him on how to get custody of my kids. I was turned down by two family law attorneys before I met with David Hou...
"Mr. Housel and I worked together to help a couple of parents resolve their differences and put a good parenting plan in place. David advocated strongly for his client, but never let his own ego cause the case to blow up. He knew what was worth arguing about and what wasn't, and that is what distinguishes good attorneys from the rest. I look forward to working with David on other cases in the future."
