Over the last 47 years, Talmage Boston ’78 has deftly juggled not one, but two heady, high-profile careers. As one of Dallas’ top commercial litigators, he’s guided financial institutions, large landowners, and corporations to successful outcomes in major business disputes throughout Texas. He’s also an author whose work thus far has focused on the history of baseball, law, and America’s presidents.
Boston’s love for the law began at age 10, poring over a torts casebook belonging to his father who was attending night law school at the University of Houston. He liked how the law brought order to conflict. Since graduating from Texas Law, he’s litigated for clients ranging from Dallas Cowboys former owner “Bum” Bright to Fannie Mae to Bank of America. He’s won multimillion-dollar trials and arbitrations and his appellate work has been the subject of over 30 published opinions, including cases before the Texas Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.
