Santos Law advises local governments, developers, and private entities on a broad range of public sector and land use matters. We help navigate the complex intersection of public policy, growth management, and regulatory compliance.

Our attorneys have extensive experience in land use planning, zoning, platting, and development agreements. We represent both public and private clients in matters involving comprehensive plans, permitting, right-of-way issues, and urban development strategies.

We provide counsel on economic development initiatives, including Chapter 380 and 381 agreements, tax increment reinvestment zones (TIRZs), public-private partnerships (P3s), Public Facility Corporation (PFC), and Public Improvement Districts (PID). We support municipalities in structuring deals that balance public benefit with economic incentives.

In the area of government relations, we work with elected officials, staff, and stakeholders on matters involving ordinance drafting, interlocal agreements, public meetings, and legislative advocacy. We assist cities and governmental entities in maintaining compliance with laws like the Texas Open Meetings Act and Public Information Act, while also advising on ethics, conflicts of interest, and procurement procedures.

We also support our governmental clients with compliance audits, policy development, and workforce-related legal matters, including internal investigations, employment policies, and training on public sector best practices.

Our firm understands the nuances of working with and within government. Whether advising on policy, development, or intergovernmental strategy, we offer trusted counsel grounded in experience and results.
