Jimmy Vaughn attended Texas Woman’s University where he obtained his bachelor’s degree. Subsequently, he pursued post-graduate studies in Spanish at Midwestern State University. From there, Mr. Vaughn attended Texas Tech School of Law. Mr. Vaughn has almost four years of practice in complex commercial litigation and appellate advocacy.

Mr. Vaughn grew up all over Texas in the foster care system but has two incredible parents who adopted him. In addition to his legal practice, he is a passionate advocate for children who are in the foster care system. While pursuing his undergraduate degree Mr. Vaughn began to give presentations to lawyers all over Texas sharing the importance of accounting for trauma while representing abused and neglected children. While at Texas Tech School of Law as a student, Mr. Vaughn drafted several pieces of legislation. Ultimately, this legislation, his advocacy, and the help of Texas Representatives resulted in the passage of laws which require the State of Texas to provide an attorney or other representative to a child in foster care to make sure their voices are heard in the courtroom.

When Mr. Vaughn is not in the Courtroom, he is chasing his toddler around and spending time with his beautiful wife.
