Regulatory Law
Regulatory Law
When a Texas agency misapplies the law or gets it wrong, Cobb & Gervasi steps in — with the inside knowledge to challenge agency action at every level.
Texas businesses face TxDOT, TDI, TCEQ, TPWD, GLO, PUC, RRC, and dozens of other regulatory bodies, each with its own procedural rules and political dynamics. Bill Cobb spent years inside the Texas Attorney General's Office representing state agencies in enforcement litigation — giving our firm unparalleled insight into how agencies build their cases and where they break down.
We represent businesses before Texas state agencies, at SOAH, in district court, and in appellate proceedings. We also counsel clients on the front end — shaping rules during the comment and rulemaking process, advising on compliance obligations, and structuring operations to minimize regulatory exposure before problems arise.

"Texas agencies make mistakes. They overreach. They misapply their own rules. Businesses need lawyers who understand exactly how to expose those mistakes."
