Humble Family Law Attorney
Humble is the oil town whose name once belonged to a company later folded into Exxon. Jessica Fritz of Fritz Law Firm, PLLC works as a Humble family law attorney for parents and spouses whose divorce, custody or support case will be decided at 201 Caroline St, the downtown Houston building that houses Harris County's family district courts.
Humble family cases leave town for 201 Caroline St
Humble has been an incorporated city since 1933, but it has no family court of its own. The trip for a Humble divorce or custody hearing ends at 201 Caroline St in downtown Houston, the Civil Courthouse where Harris County's family district courts sit, and the county's District Clerk keeps the file.
- City
- City of Humble, incorporated 1933; 16,795 residents in the 2020 census
- County
- Harris County
- Courthouse for family cases
- Harris County Civil Courthouse, 201 Caroline St, Houston, TX 77002; the family courts are on the 8th, 15th and 16th floors
- Drive to the courthouse
- About 20 miles south on Interstate 69 and US 59
The city itself is small, while the Humble mailing area is large. Many homes with a Humble address, including Atascocita homes in the 77346 and 77396 ZIP codes, sit outside the city limits in unincorporated Harris County. Those homes are still in Harris County, so the courthouse is the same; what changes is which police agency answers a call and which local office keeps the report.
How did oil shape Humble?
Humble grew up around an oil field. Oil was found there in 1904, and by 1905 the Humble field was the largest producing oil field in Texas. In 1911 local operators formed the Humble Oil and Refining Company, which became a forerunner of Exxon.
The town takes its name from Pleasant Smith Humble, an early settler who ran the first post office out of his home and later served as justice of the peace. Ross Sterling, one of the oil company's founders, later served as governor of Texas, and a Humble ISD middle school carries his name.
The Humble Museum at 601 Higgins Street collects local history. The Old San Jacinto River Truss Bridge is another landmark listed for the Humble area.
Why work schedules come up for a Humble family law attorney
Humble sits a few miles east of George Bush Intercontinental Airport, where Interstate 69, US 59 and FM 1960 meet. Parents who work airport, airline, hospital or warehouse shifts bring schedule questions that a standard weekday routine does not answer, from overnight exchanges to rotating days off.
Deerbrook Mall anchors the shopping district at US 59 and FM 1960. Bring a copy of your work schedule for the last few months, and a fair estimate of the next few, to the first appointment.
The child custody page explains how Texas possession schedules work, and the child support page explains how Texas counts a parent's income.
Which schools and public places do Humble families share?
Most of the City of Humble is served by Humble ISD, whose campuses in town include Humble High School and Ross Sterling Middle School. For separated parents, those campuses, the public library and the city's parks are often where pickups, games and school events bring both sides of a family together.
The Octavia Fields Branch Library and Hirsch Memorial Park serve families in town, and Mercer Botanic Gardens, which Harris County bought in 1974, lies west of the city on Aldine Westfield Road. Lake Houston sits to the east.
When both parents will keep crossing paths at one campus, write down where exchanges happen now and bring that list to the first appointment. The Areas We Serve page explains how a county is chosen when parents live in different places.

Humble family law attorney: local questions
My address says Humble, but I live outside the city limits. Does that change my court?
No. Homes inside and outside the City of Humble are both in Harris County, so a family case lands in front of Harris County's family district courts either way. The city limits matter more for which police agency responds and where its reports are kept.
How far is Humble from the Harris County family courts?
The Harris County Civil Courthouse at 201 Caroline St is about 20 miles south of Humble by Interstate 69 and US 59. Leave time for downtown traffic, parking and the security line on hearing days.
Can a Humble family law attorney help if I work overnight shifts near the airport?
Yes. Jessica Fritz can talk through how a job that does not follow a weekday schedule fits with time with your children. Bring your recent schedules and pay stubs to the first appointment so the plan for the children can be discussed with your real hours.
Does Fritz Law Firm, PLLC have an office in Humble?
No. Fritz Law Firm, PLLC keeps a single office, at 220 1/2 W Davis St in Conroe, across the street from the Montgomery County Courthouse. Consultations can be by phone, and client meetings are held at that office, or by Zoom video if necessary. Call 713-887-7500 to set a time.

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.
