Winstead attorneys Weston Allen and John Bruzina took the stage at the third annual Dallas Law Rocks – Battle of the Bands, joining fellow legal professionals for a night of music and community impact.

The event raises awareness and funds for music education programs benefiting underprivileged youth while supporting local nonprofit organizations across the Dallas community. T.R.O. is proud to play in support of A Model Patient, a nonprofit dedicated to serving women across the country who are facing breast cancer.

Winstead was proud to sponsor this year’s event and support its mission. We’re already looking forward to participating again next year!

We had a fantastic time hosting our friends at Crow Holdings for a client appreciation night in the Dallas Cowboys Suite! Thank you to everyone who joined us—it was wonderful to connect and celebrate a great year together.

Wishing you all the happiest of holidays!

The Zan Wesley Holmes, Jr. Community Outreach Center officially has a new home. After sitting vacant for four decades, this historic building has been fully renovated by the TREC Associate Leadership Council (ALC) class as their community investment project.

This effort was made possible through the Dallas Catalyst Project: Mill City and the hard work of The Real Estate Council (TREC Dallas). We’re especially proud of Winstead CEO Jeff Matthews and Shareholder Jeremy Wilkins for their leadership and commitment to this project. We’re not just building structures; we’re investing in the future of our local communities.

For several years, Winstead has had the privilege of partnering with Bishop Arts STEAM Academy to bring a little extra magic to the holiday season.

This year, our team visited with 1st and 2nd-grade students to deliver games, Lego sets, puzzles, and arts & craft kits. The highlight of the day included a special appearance by Santa and Mrs. Claus! 🎅🤶

Thank you to our "Winstead Elves"— Nina Nelson, Juanita Downell, Rachel Guy, Joey Nash, Celeste Cruz, Julissa McCullough, Toni Wright, and Haley Beckler—for wrapping all the gifts.

Holiday cheer is in the air! The Winstead Women’s Forum recently gathered in Austin and Dallas to celebrate the season. In Austin, we got creative at our annual cookie decorating class, while in Dallas, the team enjoyed a festive happy hour complete with custom ornaments and a DIY crêpe bar. It was wonderful to connect and celebrate together. Wishing everyone joyful holidays!

Thank you to our Winstead Elves from The Woodlands and Houston offices for collecting, wrapping, and delivering toys for the annual Houston Young Lawyers Association (HYLA) Adopt-an-Angel gift drive.

HYLF organizes the program from start to finish, beginning with recruiting law firms and individuals to purchase gifts—bikes, toys, clothing, and school supplies—and ending with delivering gifts to the Angels at local elementary schools and charities. Winstead's participation was led by Ciara Perritano.

Winstead is honored to be recognized as a Corporate Hero by Genesis Women's Shelter & Support. Through education, in-kind support, and our recent holiday toy drive, our team is proud to support Genesis’ vital mission of providing safety, advocacy, and hope for women and children. Thank you to Genesis for the meaningful partnership and for welcoming Winstead into your Corporate Heroes family.

Winstead kicked off the holidays with extra cheer at our annual Photos with Santa event, with a fantastic turnout from clients, employees, family, and friends. We’re especially grateful for the generous donations to our toy drive benefiting Genesis Women's Shelter in Dallas. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make a meaningful impact this season!

Winstead extends our heartfelt gratitude to our clients, friends of the firm, and families as we close out the year. Community service is a core part of who we are, and we’re proud of our team members who volunteer and serve in leadership roles across local nonprofits and civic organizations.

In that spirit, we’re making a holiday contribution to food banks across all our markets, supporting essential needs during the holiday season and into the new year.

Wishing you and your families a peaceful, healthy holiday season and a prosperous 2026.
