ROSE VELA

FORMER TRIAL AND APPELLATE JUDGE

As a practicing attorney, Rose worked side by side with two of our nation’s preeminent trial lawyers, Guy Allison and Darrell Barger as their appellate attorney in complex civil litigation. This experience prepared her well for ascendancy to the trial bench at the age of 34 and later as a justice on the Texas 13th Court of Appeals. Rose has overseen thousands of cases in her  career as a practitioner and a judge.
