Former Texas Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for Texas attorney general, will join Houston’s Wright Close & Barger on Sept. 12 as a partner in the firm’s appellate practice.

Guzman has been a shareholder in Houston and San Antonio with Chamberlain, Hrdlicka, White, Williams & Aughtry, a firm she joined in August 2021 and will leave Sept. 9.  She resigned from the Supreme Court in June 2021 and then announced a run for Texas attorney general.
