Northwest Harris County

Cypress Family Law Attorney

Jessica Fritz lives in Cypress, so the Cypress family law attorney at Fritz Law Firm, PLLC knows the US 290 commute and the drive downtown from her own week. A Cypress divorce or custody case belongs to Harris County, and its hearings take place at the family courts downtown on Caroline Street.

Cypress cases go downtown, to Harris County's family courts

Cypress has no city government of its own. The community is unincorporated, sits in northwest Harris County within the City of Houston's extraterritorial jurisdiction, and sends its divorce and custody cases to one of Harris County's family district courts downtown.

County
Harris County (unincorporated)
Courthouse
Harris County Civil Courthouse, 201 Caroline St, Houston, TX 77002, where the District Clerk lists the family courts on the 8th, 15th and 16th floors
Drive to the courthouse
About 25 to 30 miles southeast on US 290 and Interstate 10
Law enforcement
Harris County Sheriff's Office and Harris County Constable Precincts 4 and 5, depending on the neighborhood

Because there is no Cypress police department, a call for help during a family dispute goes to the sheriff or a constable precinct. Those agencies keep the incident reports, so if a report matters to your case, note the agency and the report number before your first appointment.

A Cypress family law attorney who lives in Cypress

Jessica Fritz was born in Amarillo and now lives in Cypress with her family. She practices from the Fritz Law Firm, PLLC office at 220 1/2 W Davis St in Conroe, across the street from the Montgomery County Courthouse. Harris County cases from her home community are part of that practice.

Living in Cypress means knowing which mornings US 290 backs up, how long the Grand Parkway adds to a trip and what a weekday drive to 201 Caroline looks like. It also means the school calendar, the youth sports seasons and the Friday night football schedule are part of her own household. Read more about her on the About page.

A first consultation can be by phone. Client meetings are held at the Conroe office, or by Zoom video if necessary.

How does Cypress-Fairbanks ISD shape family life in Cypress?

Most Cypress children attend Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, a district that reported 111,133 students in October 2026, a size few Texas districts match. Its calendar, bus routes and campus boundaries set the rhythm of the week for most Cypress families.

The "Cy-Fair" name dates to the 1930s, when Fairbanks High School merged with the old Big Cypress school. Some Cypress addresses are zoned to Tomball ISD instead, so check your child's campus assignment before you build a weekly schedule around it. Lone Star College-CyFair also sits in the community.

Parents who split time usually plan exchanges around campus pickup times and the district calendar. The child custody page explains how Texas possession schedules follow the school year. Bring your child's campus name and the current district calendar to the first meeting.

Why newer Cypress homes bring more paperwork to a divorce

Cypress stayed mostly rural until master-planned communities spread west toward and past the Grand Parkway. The 2020 census counted about 200,839 people in the 77429 and 77433 ZIP codes, and many of those households own newer homes with recent mortgages, homeowner association dues and municipal utility district taxes.

German settlers arrived along Cypress Creek in the 1840s, and the area stayed largely rural for more than a century. Today the larger communities include Towne Lake, built around a lake of about 300 acres; Bridgeland, a Howard Hughes community of more than 11,000 acres under development since 2006; and Blackhorse Ranch, a golf course neighborhood off Fry Road south of US 290.

A newer house can carry a builder warranty, a refinance or a down payment that came from one spouse's family. Gather the closing statement and the most recent mortgage statement early. The property division page explains how Texas sorts out a house purchased while the spouses were married.
