Houston Law Firms Wait To See If Gonzales Jumps From Ship

A report from Houston TV station KHOU suggests that U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales may very well end up in the Southern Texas city if he leaves the Department of Justice as a result of the controversy over federal prosecutors.

Gonzales visited Houston two weeks ago to speak at a press conference on the DOJ’s anti-child predator ad campaign, and also spoke at the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

While there, he said that he is “look[ing] forward to the day I can return to Houston.”

Rocky Rhodes, a professor at the South Texas College of Law told KHOU reporter Dave Fehling that most Texas law firms would fight to hire Gonzales after he leaves the federal government.

“Instant name recognition, and that’s a big key,” Rhodes said.
