Prior Experience:

Ms. Lindig, being one of four daughters of a Texas A&M Agricultural Extension Agent, became the "black sheep" of the family after obtaining a Bachelor of Arts With Honors in 1978 from the University of Texas in Austin.

After graduating from Texas Tech University School of Law in 1981, Ms. Lindig became a member of a firm engaged in general civil practice, with an emphasis on litigation. As the member of a small firm, she represented both commercial and individual Plaintiffs and Defendants in a wide variety of cases.

The independence with which she handled her cases established the foundation for her own successful practice (1989 to 2000), and her 1996 campaign for Judge of a Harris County Civil District Court. In 2000 she joined the firm, where she continues to engage in a diverse civil litigation practice.
