The Marathon Galveston Bay Refinery. Valero Texas City. Dow Chemical. The Port of Texas City. Texas City sits at the center of one of the most productive industrial corridors on the Gulf Coast, anchored by the Marathon Petroleum Galveston Bay Refinery — one of the largest refineries in the United States at 585,000 barrels per day — alongside Valero’s Texas City Refinery and Dow Chemical Texas City Operations. For the engineers, plant supervisors, managers, executives, and business owners whose careers are built around these industries, legal matters often carry real complexity: deferred compensation and pension valuations from major petrochemical employers, closely held businesses serving the industrial complex, business disputes among contractors and vendors, and real estate along Galveston Bay.
Anunobi Law is a Houston-based firm built specifically around that intersection of family law, business law, and medical malpractice litigation. Our attorneys are familiar with the Galveston County courts that hear every Texas City case.
We represent clients living in Texas City, La Marque, and the surrounding 77590 and 77591 zip codes in Galveston County.
Why Texas City Clients Choose Anunobi Law?
- Board-certified family law experience. Attorney Chidi Anunobi is board certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization — a credential held by only a small fraction of Texas attorneys.
- A genuine business-law and family-law practice under one roof. Business valuation, equity compensation, contract disputes, and closely held company issues are core to our practice, not work we outsource to outside experts after the fact.
- Trial-tested litigators. Settlements in high-asset cases are only as strong as the trial alternative behind them. We prepare every matter — divorce, business dispute, or malpractice claim — as if it is going to trial, because that posture is what produces better outcomes at the negotiating table.
- Local court familiarity. Our attorneys appear regularly in the Galveston County courts at the Galveston County Justice Center in Galveston that hear Texas City family law, civil litigation, and medical malpractice cases, and know the judges, the local rules, and the opposing counsel who routinely show up in these matters.
- Discretion. Texas City clients are often business owners, plant managers, or executives with a reputation to protect. We structure litigation and settlement strategy with privacy and confidentiality in mind wherever Texas law allows.
Texas City High-Net-Worth Divorce & Family Law Attorneys
A Texas City divorce often involves assets that trace directly to the area’s industrial identity: deferred compensation and pension plans from Marathon Petroleum, Valero, or Dow Chemical, closely held businesses serving the Galveston Bay industrial complex, equity interests in energy and chemical companies, and real estate along the bay. Our Divorce & Family Law Solutions practice is built around exactly this kind of complexity.
Our Texas City family law team regularly handles:
- High-net-worth and high-conflict divorce — business valuation disputes, characterization of community vs. separate property, and discovery of complex financial holdings.
- Business owner divorce — for Texas City residents who own or co-own a privately held company, where valuation, goodwill, and operational continuity after the divorce are often the central fight.
- Physician and medical professional divorce — common among Texas City-area families with ties to Mainland Medical Center, UTMB Health in Galveston, and the area’s network of specialty medical practices, where practice valuation and the line between enterprise and personal goodwill drive the outcome.
- Executive and equity compensation divorce — RSUs, stock options, deferred compensation, and pension plans for refinery managers, plant executives, and energy sector professionals.
- Real estate-heavy divorce — appraisal disputes and debt allocation where the estate includes the Texas City or La Marque home along with Galveston Bay waterfront, investment, or out-of-state property.
- Trusts, inheritance, and family wealth — tracing and protecting separate-property inheritances and trust distributions from commingling claims.
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, drafted to anticipate exactly the kind of disputes listed above before they happen.
- Child custody, modification, and enforcement — including relocation disputes, possession schedule changes, and enforcement of decrees when a former spouse isn’t complying.
Texas City lies entirely within Galveston County. Our attorneys are familiar with the Galveston County District Courts, located at the Galveston County Justice Center, 600 59th Street, Galveston, TX 77551 — including the 306th District Court, which handles the majority of Galveston County family law matters. Knowing the judges, the local procedural rules, and how each court tends to approach high-asset cases is part of what separates effective representation from a generic filing.

Texas City Business & Commercial Litigation Attorneys
Texas City’s economy is anchored by the Marathon Petroleum Galveston Bay Refinery, Valero’s Texas City Refinery, Dow Chemical Texas City Operations, and the Port of Texas City — and the contractors, specialty service providers, construction firms, and professional businesses that serve those operations generate a significant volume of commercial disputes. Our Business Law Solutions practice represents Texas City entrepreneurs, executives, and closely held businesses in:
- Business litigation — breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, business torts, shareholder and partnership disputes, and trade secret claims.
- Construction and contractor disputes — general contractor/owner and general contractor/subcontractor disputes, mechanic’s lien claims, and construction defect litigation.
- Contract drafting and review — non-disclosure agreements, vendor agreements, employment and independent contractor agreements, and ownership agreements.
- Business formation — entity selection and formation for LLCs, partnerships, S-corps, and C-corps, including governing documents.
- Risk management and strategic advisory — corporate books management, employee handbooks, regulatory advisory, and feasibility and gap analysis for closely held businesses.
- International and cross-border business matters — relevant to the many Texas City-area executives with international holdings or operations tied to the global petrochemical trade.
Whether the dispute is a falling-out between partners, a breach by a vendor, or the need to properly structure a new venture from the outset, our trial attorneys approach every matter with the same readiness to litigate that we bring to family law — because that posture produces better settlements, and better outcomes when settlement isn’t possible.

Texas City Medical Malpractice & Birth Injury Attorneys
Texas City is served by Mainland Medical Center and has close access to UTMB Health in Galveston, and many Texas City-area families have direct ties to the area’s hospital and medical community, whether as patients, physicians, or both. The industrial nature of the area also means that occupational illness, chemical exposure, and work-related medical complications are a distinct concern for some Texas City clients. When the standard of care fails, our Medical Malpractice Solutions team represents victims and families in:
- Birth injury and Ob/Gyn malpractice — injuries to mother or child arising from labor, delivery, or prenatal care errors.
- Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose — including delayed diagnosis of conditions with time-sensitive treatment windows.
- Surgical errors and medication errors.
- Nursing home abuse and neglect — including bed sores, malnutrition, and dehydration cases.
- Wrongful death claims arising from preventable medical error.
These cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis — you do not pay unless we recover compensation for you. Given the Texas City area’s medical community and the concentration of industrial professionals who call the 77590 and 77591 zip codes home, our team’s familiarity with both sides of these cases — the standard of care and the litigation strategy — is particularly valuable to Texas City clients.

Local Knowledge: The Courts That Hear Texas City Cases
Texas City lies entirely within Galveston County, and all Texas City cases fall under the Galveston County court system. Our attorneys regularly appear in:
- Galveston County District Courts (Galveston County Justice Center, 600 59th Street, Suite 3304, Galveston, TX 77551) — including the 306th District Court, which handles the majority of Galveston County family law matters: divorce, custody, child support, modification, and enforcement.
- Galveston County Civil Courts — for business litigation, breach of contract, and commercial disputes.
- Galveston County Civil Courts — for medical malpractice and wrongful death claims, which carry their own pre-suit notice and expert-report requirements under Texas law.
Familiarity with a specific court isn’t a courtesy — it shapes strategy. Knowing how a particular judge handles temporary orders in a high-asset divorce, how quickly a given court moves discovery disputes, or what a court typically expects in expert reports for a malpractice claim, directly affects how a case should be built from day one.
