About Horton Legal West Texas
Meet Attorney Alex Horton, Board Certified Personal Injury Trial Lawyer
I was born and raised in West Texas. San Angelo is home and always will be. I grew up around the same hardworking communities I now serve, and I understand the realities people face when life is suddenly disrupted by serious injury or loss.
For nearly two decades, I have represented individuals and families across West Texas, including San Angelo, Midland, Odessa, and the Permian Basin. My practice is focused on high stakes injury litigation, with an emphasis on accountability, thorough investigation, and trial readiness.
Before founding Horton Legal West Texas, I clerked at the Supreme Court of Texas and spent more than ten years at a respected statewide litigation firm. That experience shaped my approach to complex cases, courtroom strategy, and client advocacy.
As a Board Certified Personal Injury Trial Lawyer, I bring disciplined preparation, deep legal experience, and a commitment to standing up for West Texans who deserve clear answers and fair outcomes.

Our Approach
We approach every case with the expectation that it may ultimately be decided in a courtroom. That mindset shapes how we investigate, prepare, and advocate from day one.
Clients work directly with their attorney, not layers of staff. We take the time to understand the full impact an injury has had on your life, explain the legal process clearly, and make sure you always know where your case stands.
Our firm is intentionally selective with the cases we accept. That allows us to dedicate the time, resources, and attention each matter deserves. We focus on thorough investigation, working with qualified experts when necessary, and building cases that are prepared, not rushed.
Above all, our approach is rooted in accountability, communication, and respect. We believe injured individuals deserve honest answers, realistic expectations, and an advocate who is fully prepared to stand with them through every phase of the legal process.
