About Mediation
Mediation is required in most civil actions in Texas. The mediator is a neutral third party whose goal is to guide the process and offers no legal advice, does not advocate for either party nor makes any agreements or decisions for the parties; parties are solely responsible for the terms of the final agreement.

Mediation is a confidential process and all negotiations, terms and discussions will remain confidential by all parties and the mediator unless otherwise required by law or by agreement by all in attendance. The mediator is prohibited from making any report to the courts beyond that it took place, attendance and its successfulness. Regardless of the mediator being a licensed attorney, the mediator offers no legal advice nor advocates for either side. Each party is strongly encouraged to either have their own counsel present or obtain independent legal advice prior to signing any written legal agreements.​​​​
