Abel Reyna, fresh off his post as McLennan County district attorney, has accepted a job in Waco with a Houston-based law firm that specializes in intellectual property.
Reyna's future has been the subject of wide speculation since Barry Johnson defeated the two-term district attorney in the March Republican primary. Johnson took over the DA's office from Reyna earlier this month.
In a news release announcing Reyna's association, the Patterson + Sheridan firm, which calls itself an "IP law boutique," said Reyna joining the firm as of counsel will continue the firm’s growth in intellectual property litigation, business litigation, criminal defense and government investigations.
Reyna, 46, will work out of the firm's new Waco branch office on the fifth floor of the Texas Life Insurance Co. building, 900 Washington Ave.
"I'm excited about it," Reyna said Monday. "It's a good opportunity. I'll still be doing criminal litigation, but also business litigation and IP and complex litigation in both federal and state court. Right now, it's just me in that office, but the idea is we want to grow that office in Waco and establish a productive office here and establish ourselves as the go-to litigation office in Waco."
Reyna said he is in the process of becoming licensed to practice in federal court.
The news release notes that Texas has seen significant growth in technology-based businesses, and one of the growth areas is the Western District of Texas, which includes Waco, Austin and San Antonio. Many companies from the east and west coasts have relocated to the Western District of Texas or expanded their businesses in the area.
The addition of Reyna, who the release says is well-known in the district and has significant trial experience, will build upon the expansion of the firm’s trial practice with experienced litigators

Should just ride off in the Texas Sunset in Shame.
I guess the Twin Peaks Bikers should be glad he’s found a job, because he’s going to need a good one to pay off the coming lawsuits. As much as I have no love for “Bikers,” I have a lot less love for a justice system that systematically denies American citizens due process. I hope I live long enough to see Wacko and McLennan County take it in the shorts financially. It’s too much to hope for that there will be any jail time coming for any number of “members of law enforcement” in Whacko.
From blowhard DA to patent troll, what a career!
