Family law, estate planning and probate in Cypress, TX. Meet with the Law Office of Dana Baker, P.C. close to home.
Hello! I'm Dana Baker, and I'm now in Cypress.
You shouldn't have to drive an hour west to talk through a divorce, a custody order that no longer fits, or a parent's estate. My firm now has an office in Cypress, at 12246 Queenston Blvd, Suite H, in the office park near Barker Cypress Road and Highway 6. You can sit down with us there, or meet by phone or video if that's easier.
Cypress cases have their own details. The house often comes with a MUD tax bill and HOA dues on top of a mortgage sized for two incomes. Much of Cypress is in Cy-Fair ISD, so how a custody order handles school matters. Cases are filed in Harris County, and I'll walk you through what that means before anything is signed.

Questions Cypress Families Ask Me
-
Texas requires that one spouse has lived in Texas for at least six months and in the county where the case is filed for at least 90 days. If you moved to Cypress recently from another county, we'll work out where you can file.
-
No. Cypress doesn't have its own family court. Cases for Cypress residents are filed in Harris County and heard at the Civil Courthouse in downtown Houston, though many settings now happen by video.
-
Sometimes, but it has to be affordable on one income. In Cypress that means looking at the mortgage, the MUD and property taxes and the HOA together before you agree to keep it, and offsetting its value with other assets if you do.
-
Texas orders usually name one parent who decides the child's primary residence, often limited to a county or school district. With so much of Cypress in Cy-Fair ISD, how that restriction is written matters, and we write it to fit your situation.
-
If the person who passed lived in Harris County, the estate is usually handled in a Harris County probate court. A well-built estate plan can make that process shorter and cheaper, or avoid parts of it.
