Meet Your Attorney

Dan Wyde

Dan Wyde has spent more than 35 years inside Texas courtrooms — first as an Assistant Criminal District Attorney, then as a twice-elected Criminal Court Judge, and now leading the criminal defense and personal injury practice at Wyde & Associates, PLLC. He is board certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization — a designation held by fewer than 10% of Texas attorneys in any specialty.

Having sat on the bench and prosecuted cases from the other side, Dan Wyde understands the criminal-justice system from every angle. That perspective informs every petition, negotiation, and trial strategy his firm executes. Today the practice is intentionally focused: criminal record clearing for Texans who deserve a clean start, and car accident representation for people injured by negligent drivers across Texas.
