also known as Edward Christopher Denuna
I received my Bachelors degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2010 as a Division I student-athlete on a full athletic soccer scholarship. I then attended Charlotte School of Law in Charlotte, NC, and was awarded my Juris Doctorate in 2014. While attending Charlotte School of Law, I was named to the Dean’s List in 2013 and 2014, participated on the Charlotte School of Law Moot Court and Mock Trial teams, received the CALI Award for Academic Excellence in Trial Practice, graduated from the selective Charlotte School of Law Advanced Criminal Advocacy Program, and accumulated over 340 hours of pro bono service.
After my first year of law school, I clerked at The Law Office of Charles L. Morgan, Jr. in Charlotte, NC, and received my certification for the Student Practice Rule as well as my Third-Year Practice Certificate.
I was hired as a law clerk at Trichter & Murphy, PC, in the summer of 2013. After serving as a law clerk for two consecutive summers, I was admitted to practice in Texas in 2014. I am a member of the American Bar Association, the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association, the Houston Bar Association, and the Texas Young Lawyers Association.
I practice in Harris County, Montgomery, Fort Bend, Galveston, Liberty, Waller, Brazoria, Bell, Washington, Dallas, Bexar, Travis, and pretty much anywhere you need me in the State of Texas.
I pride myself in learning first hand as an associate attorney from some of the foremost legal authorities in Texas DUI/DWI Defense: Gary Trichter, Doug Murphy, and Mark Thiessen, and will aggressively, passionately, and relentlessly fight for my clients.

Fourth to First
When I picked up my fourth DUI felony charge, I knew I was in good hands when I came across Chris Denuna. I was going to lose my job if I wasn’t able to get the charge reduced. From the minute I talked to him on the phone about my case, Chris assured me that everything would be alright. He is a lawye...
"I had the opportunity to sit as co-counsel in a DWI trial with Chris and he was amazing. More specifically, he was well prepared, knowledgeable of facts surrounding the case and science involved with DWI’s. After two days of testimony the jurors deliberated for 20 minutes and returned with a NOT GUILTY verdict!"
"I've been lucky to know Chris for some time now and he is a fierce advocate. He works hard for his clients and his success in the courtroom is reflective of that effort. I enthusiastically recommend this attorney."
"Chris works hard for his clients. He makes sure that they get every question answered and know exactly what is going on in their case."
"I wouldn't have hired Chris if I didn't think he was an amazing lawyer. He's a competitor outside of the court room and inside as well. it's in his blood. He has studied and learned his profession well. That's why I feel lucky to have hired him. He's a strong worker, fantastic and creative mind and tenacious. He won't give up on your case. And if he ever gets in too deep, I've got his back."
"Chris is about as good as they come. I have enjoyed seeing his trial ability and professionalism first-hand. Anyone would be in a great position with Chris at their side."
"I endorse this lawyer. Chris is an excellent lawyer with a strong ethic. Very knowledgeable in his field and a highly effective litigator."
