About Carly
Biography
Carly Taylor is a battle-tested trial attorney with a powerful record of success both prosecuting and defending a wide-range of criminal charges throughout Texas.
Nationally recognized as an elite advocate, Ms. Taylor has worked on nearly every type of criminal case, from misdemeanors to murder. The breadth and depth of her experience allows Ms. Taylor to construct complex and strategic defenses, while expertly identifying weaknesses in the State’s case.
Born and raised in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, Ms. Taylor grew up in the small town of Kerrville, with big dreams of becoming an attorney. Upon graduating from Tivy High School (2004), she earned a full academic scholarship to Texas A&M University. While in College Station, Ms. Taylor received a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management (B.B.A. 2007), and was an active member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority.
Moving to Houston in 2008, Mr. Taylor began her legal studies at South Texas College of Law (J.D. 2011), and completed an internship with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office – one of the largest prosecuting offices in the United States.
A little girl’s dream became a young woman’s passion for advocacy and the courtroom, as Ms. Taylor began her legal career proudly representing the State of Texas as a prosecutor.
Throughout years of public service, Ms. Taylor became disillusioned after witnessing firsthand the abuses of discretion by those who wear the proverbial “white hat.” These experiences led her to leave the badge behind, rededicating her career to fighting for the citizen accused, while seeking accountability for those that abuse the privilege of power.
In 2022, Ms. Taylor joined Trey Porter Law to add her dynamic skills and deep experience to the firm’s established foundation of delivering uncompromising results and client-first service.

Top-Notch Lawyering
I recommend attorney Taylor with Trey Porter Law to anyone facing a DWI charge. 5/5 all the way. Ms. Taylor took time in court to explain the legal nuances, and answer my questions.

New Braunfels Nightmare
I got pulled over in New Braunfels after a concert in Gruene. Comal County is a notoriously difficult place, especially when it comes to DWI cases. Ms. Taylor and her team fought hard and got my case handled with an incredible outcome. I was informed and kept in the loop every step of the way and my ...

Not my first rodeo…
I had been down this DWI road before and had a TERRIBLE experience. I did research and was very careful with who I hired for my second mistake. Since I have something to compare it to, I feel like my opinion actually holds some water. I couldn’t be happier with Ms. Taylor and her team. I never wanted...

Best in Texas!
My son got into some trouble in North Texas, and a mutual friend recommend I reach out to Ms. Taylor and her firm. I wasn't sure if she'd be willing to take a case far away, but she was, and I hired on the spot. Long story short, my son never had to even appear in court and Ms. Taylor handled everyt...
