Alex R. Tandy has been practicing law in Texas for more than 50 years. A graduate of Baylor University School of Law — one of the nation's most respected trial advocacy programs — Alex began his legal career with the depth of training and discipline that Baylor Law is known for producing.
Over the course of his distinguished career, Alex has represented hundreds of individuals and families across Tarrant and Parker Counties — in probate courts, in criminal defense, and in civil matters that required both sharp legal knowledge and genuine personal care. His longevity in the practice of law is not simply a measure of time — it is a testament to the trust that clients, colleagues, and courts have placed in him year after year.
"The law is not just about statutes and procedures — it's about people. Every client who walks through the door has a real problem that affects their real life. That's what drives me."
— Alex R. Tandy, Attorney at LawBaylor University School of Law
Alex earned his law degree from Baylor University School of Law in Waco, Texas — consistently ranked among the top law schools in the nation for trial advocacy and practical legal training. Baylor Law is known for producing attorneys who are ready to walk into a courtroom and perform from day one, and Alex's career has embodied that standard for over five decades.
The rigorous training Alex received at Baylor Law gave him a foundation in legal reasoning, courtroom procedure, and client advocacy that has served his clients well through every phase of his career — from his time as a prosecutor to his decades of civil and criminal defense practice.
Former District Attorney — Parker County, Texas
Before entering private practice full time, Alex R. Tandy served as the District Attorney of Parker County, Texas. As the chief prosecutor for Parker County, Alex was responsible for overseeing the prosecution of criminal cases on behalf of the State of Texas — giving him an inside perspective on the criminal justice system that few defense attorneys can claim.
This prosecutorial experience is one of Alex's most significant advantages for clients facing criminal charges. He knows how cases are built, how prosecutors think, what evidence they prioritize, and where cases can be challenged. That knowledge — earned from the other side of the courtroom — translates directly into more effective criminal defense representation for his clients.
When you hire a former District Attorney to defend you, you benefit from decades of insight into how the prosecution will approach your case — and how to counter it effectively.

He has guided countless Tarrant and Parker County families through the Texas probate process, helping them navigate court filings, creditor claims, asset distribution, and the full range of challenges that arise when a loved one passes.
On the estate planning side, Alex has helped individuals and families of all backgrounds prepare wills, establish trusts, execute powers of attorney, and put advance directives in place — giving them the peace of mind that comes from knowing their wishes will be honored and their families protected.
