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.

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...

Beware! Dont waste your time or money. Mr. Palmer was unable to help me due to case overload.
I went to the office of Scott Palmer but unfortunately he was very busy at the time. I was told Mr. Housel would able to assist me, but that was very bad mistake. I put a large amount of money into this divorce case, because of the good advice and promises that I thought were true. He made many mista...

Great lawyer
Well I went through a messy divorce and changed lawyers do to county and wanting/needing more of a fighter. David housel is wonderful and truly cares about his clients. He kept me in the know always and can be a fighter if need be. I was happy to have had him represent me during such a fragile time ...
"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."
