What Harris, Finley & Bogle, P.C. does

Harris, Finley & Bogle, P.C. is a Texas-based professional law firm operating as a private professional corporation under Texas law, with its principal office at 777 Main St., Suite 1800 in Fort Worth and a secondary office in Weatherford. Founded in 1977, the firm has more than 30 attorneys and over four decades of civil law experience, serving clients regionally with national reach as attorneys are admitted in Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, New Mexico, Ohio, West Virginia, Arkansas, Utah, and federal jurisdictions. The firm is organized around eleven practice areas, with oil and gas law (split between litigation and transactional) as the anchor specialization, complemented by real estate, banking and finance, business and corporate, estate planning and probate, labor and employment, appellate and litigation, arbitration and mediation, administrative law, and professional liability defense. Its core oil and gas practice covers title examination, acquisitions and divestitures, leasing, royalty disputes, and litigation across major US shale plays including the Bakken, Barnett, Eagle Ford, Marcellus, Permian, and Utica.

The firm delivers services through traditional attorney-client engagements — hourly billing, fixed fees, and contingency arrangements depending on matter type — sold primarily via direct engagement, professional referrals, and reputation-driven marketing supported by attorney awards, bar association leadership, and an active Oil & Gas Blog analyzing recent Texas Supreme Court decisions. Customer segments span oil and gas operators and landowners, regional and national banks financing oil and gas and commercial real estate, real estate developers and investors, business and nonprofit entities, and individuals requiring estate planning. Notable shareholders include Roland K. Johnson (former State Bar of Texas president, board-certified civil trial lawyer) and James E. Key (board-certified in Oil, Gas, and Mineral Law), with multiple attorneys recognized as Texas Super Lawyers, Rising Stars, Best Lawyers in America, and Top Attorneys by 360 West Magazine and Fort Worth Magazine.

The firm uses standard legal practice management and research tools; there is no disclosed proprietary technology, no AI/ML capability, no software products, and no external funding. Ownership is held by shareholders and associates under traditional professional corporation structure, with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A activity. Distribution is direct to clients through its two physical offices and court appearances across licensed jurisdictions, with marketing channels limited to earned media (awards), professional associations, LinkedIn, and the firm's blog.
