Associate Brent D. Hockaday has been elected a Texas Bar Foundation “Fellow,” a distinction bestowed on only one-third of one percent of all members of the State Bar of Texas in any single year and given in recognition of outstanding contributions to the legal profession and a proven commitment to the community. Hockaday was nominated by members of his District Nominating Committee and elected by the Texas Bar Foundation Board of Trustees. The Texas Bar Foundation is the largest charitably-funded bar foundation in the United States and is committed to a mission of using financial contributions to build a strong justice system for all Texans – with more than $19 million to date going to nonprofit organizations that advance justice-related programs and services.

Hockaday joins Bell Nunnally attorneys George W. Coleman, Irene L. Hosford, Danica L. Mathes, Sonja J. McGill, Kassandra G. McLaughlin, Jacob N. Pollack, Mark A. Shoffner, Larry L. Shosid, Christopher B. Trowbridge and Ross A. Williams as Texas Bar Foundation “Fellows.”
