Fort Worth is located in northern Texas and is the state’s fifth-largest city, comprising about 700,000 inhabitants.  It is located in the expansive Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.  Fort Worth was named after a general who had led the Americans to victory during the Mexican War.  General Worth also established a series of forts to mark the frontier’s western boundary.  Fort Worth began as a true “Wild West” town, full of cattle drivers and gunslingers such as the “Sundance Kid.”

These days, Fort Worth is modern, sophisticated, and growing rapidly; replete with an opera, symphony orchestra, and theater.  However, Fort Worth retains its frontier charm in the Stockyards Historic District.  Fort Worth is home to more than 3,000 lawyers.
