Richmond Family Law Attorney
Richmond is the county seat of Fort Bend County, and every Fort Bend family case is heard in its courthouse complex. Fritz Law Firm, PLLC provides Richmond family law attorney help to families in Richmond, Rosenberg and the farm and ranch land around them, with Jessica Fritz handling each case herself.
Why does Richmond matter to every Fort Bend County family case?
Richmond has been Fort Bend County's seat of government since the county was formed in the late 1830s, so the county's district courts and District Clerk are based there today. Family cases go to the county's Justice Center at 1422 Eugene Heimann Circle.
For a family living in Richmond or Rosenberg, the courthouse is a short local drive of about 10 minutes or less instead of a commute. The Justice Center houses the county's district courts, and the 328th, 387th, 501st and 505th District Courts hear family cases there. Courtrooms are numbered by floor and letter, so the notice for a setting is the place to find the room. The county keeps a directory of its district courts; this site has no Fort Bend court page yet.
A few blocks away, the historic Fort Bend County Courthouse at 401 Jackson Street is a Beaux Arts building completed in 1908 and dedicated in January 1909. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and is still owned and used by the county, with offices that include the County Judge and County Attorney.
How did Richmond and Rosenberg become two towns three miles apart?
Richmond grew around a fort on a bend of the Brazos River, the bend that gave Fort Bend County its name. Rosenberg grew about three miles to the west after Richmond refused in 1880 to grant a right-of-way to the Santa Fe line, formally the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway, and the railroad built its line and depot there instead.
Richmond's settlers fled during the Runaway Scrape of 1836 and came back to a town the Republic of Texas incorporated in 1837. Rosenberg kept its railroad-era downtown, including the 1910 Vogelsang Building, a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark since 1986. The Fort Bend County Fair, first held in October 1933, has used its grounds on State Highway 36 South in Rosenberg since 1974.
South of Richmond, George Ranch Historical Park at 10215 FM 762 tells the story of four generations of one ranching family on a working cattle ranch. That ranching side of the county is still visible along FM 762 and State Highway 36, where pasture runs right up to the newer subdivisions.
Which school district serves Richmond and Rosenberg children?
Lamar Consolidated ISD serves Richmond and Rosenberg. The district was formed in the 1940s by combining the Richmond, Rosenberg and Beasley school districts with a number of rural common school districts.
Not every Richmond mailing address is in Lamar Consolidated ISD. Some neighborhoods on the east side toward Sugar Land, such as parts of Pecan Grove, are zoned to Fort Bend ISD. The district's attendance-zone lookup answers the question for a specific house, which is worth doing before a parent agrees to a move.
Why this Richmond family law attorney page also covers Rosenberg
Rosenberg and Richmond share a school district, a county seat and a stretch of US 59 (I-69), and their downtowns sit about three miles apart. Fritz Law Firm, PLLC serves both towns from this page, and Rosenberg family cases go to the same Fort Bend County courts in Richmond.

Richmond family law attorney: common questions
Which Richmond building will my family court hearing be in?
Richmond's Fort Bend County Justice Center, at 1422 Eugene Heimann Circle, is where the county's family hearings take place. Your hearing notice lists the court and the room. Leave extra time to park and get through the entrance.
I live in Rosenberg. Is my case heard in Richmond?
Yes. Rosenberg is in Fort Bend County, and Fort Bend County family cases are heard at the county seat in Richmond. The Justice Center is a short drive east of downtown Rosenberg.
Should I drive to the 1908 courthouse on Jackson Street for my hearing?
Usually not. The 1908 Fort Bend County Courthouse at 401 Jackson Street is a historic county building, and the district courts that hear family cases work from the county's Justice Center instead. Check your notice before you leave home.

I recently went through a long and difficult divorce that involved my son. Jessica and her staff were there for us every step of the way. She and her staff were extremely knowledgeable, and just as important, supportive of me and my son through the entire process. Frankly, I don't know what I would have done without her. She was a Godsend.
If you're looking for a fair, trusting and caring divorce, family law lawyer, I highly recommend contacting Jessica.

The Law Firm of Fritz and Phillips has handled our case with the highest level of professionalism and expertise. Our situation has been both complex and challenging, yet every member of their team has consistently treated us with genuine care, respect, and compassion.
Although we understand that our case is one of many they manage, we have always felt like a priority. Their responsiveness, especially during urgent or emergency situations, has been exceptional and deeply reassuring.
They have guided us through the legal process with clarity and confidence, ensuring we remained informed about applicable laws, expectations, and potential outcomes every step of the way. Their ability to make an otherwise stressful and overwhelming experience feel manageable truly sets them apart.
We are incredibly grateful for their dedication and would highly recommend Fritz and Phillips to anyone seeking knowledgeable, attentive, and client-centered legal representation.
