Loyd Henderson Wright

In 2010 and 2014, I had the honor and privilege of being elected Judge of Harris County Probate Court No. 1, one of the busiest probate courts in the country. It was the most rewarding experience of my career. I have officially signed up to run again for 2022, and recently went back to practicing law on my own.

As an attorney with over 38 years experience in probate, trust guardianship, estate planning, and elder law, I developed a reputation for handling the matters entrusted to me with diligence and integrity. I often represented  executors, administrators, trustees, guardians, and beneficiaries in complex probate proceedings, and recovered millions of dollars in assets lost through fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. Over the years, I was also appointed by the probate judges to handle both contested and uncontested estate and guardianship matters. The experience I garnered over the last thirty-five years served me well on the bench.

I also served two terms as a member of the District 4A grievance committee (which disciplines attorneys) and served as Chair in 1994. I am a member of the State Bar of Texas Judicial Section, Real Estate, Probate and Trust Section, Taxation Section. Litigation Section and Business Section, and the Houston Bar Association Probate, Trusts and Estate Section, Taxation Section, and Litigation Section. I also belong to the Houston Business and Estate Planning Council, the Houston Estate and Financial Forum, and the Houston Realty Business Coalition.

I received my JD from the University of Houston in 1981, and a BBA (1977 - accounting) and MBA (1980 - accounting/taxation) from the University of Texas.
