About Dylan O. Drummond

Dylan Drummond is a former Texas Supreme Court clerk, the 35th Chair of the Texas Bar Appellate Section, the 18th President of the Texas Supreme Court Historical Society, the 29th Chair of the Texas Bar College, and served for nearly a decade on the Texas Bar’s Standing Committee on Pattern Jury Charges for the Business, Consumer, Insurance & Employment volume. He is an accomplished civil appellate and commercial litigator who represents clients in complex civil disputes before state, federal, and administrative forums at trial and on appeal.

Dylan’s civil appellate practice before state and federal appellate courts consists of pursuing traditional, accelerated, and permissive appeals, original proceedings, extraordinary writs, as well as petition, certiorari, merits, and amicus briefing. His civil and commercial litigation practice includes working closely alongside trial teams to provide strategic counsel regarding pre-and post-trial motion practice, expert designation disputes, jury charge preparation, class certification, and dispositive motion practice.

Dylan has prosecuted merits and amicus appellate matters before the United States Supreme Court, the United States Courts of Appeals, as well as before state appellate courts throughout Texas, New Mexico, and Arkansas.

He also writes and speaks frequently throughout the state on appellate topics, and is regularly interviewed by Law360, Texas Lawbook, and the Texas Lawyer.
