TB Robinson Law Group, PLLC: A Houston Employment Attorney With a Published Fifth Circuit Case to His Name

Terrence B. Robinson’s win in Goudeau v. NOV made it to the Fifth Circuit’s official case reporter — 793 F.3d 470 — a published appellate decision that is independently verifiable through federal court records, not just a firm-stated claim, and he has been Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization for more than a decade.

At a Glance

Origin and Background

Terrence B. Robinson has practiced employment law litigation for more than 25 years, with Texas Board of Legal Specialization certification in Labor and Employment Law held for more than a decade. State Bar of Texas records confirm his Houston office at 7500 San Felipe Street. He is AV Peer Review Rated by Martindale-Hubbell, a rating the organization describes as signifying the highest level of professional excellence based on peer evaluation.

Practice Concentration

The firm’s core practice is employment discrimination litigation covering age, sex, race, pregnancy, and disability claims, along with whistleblower retaliation and wage-and-hour disputes involving unpaid overtime. See this Houston Employment & Labor directory for how this compares to other Harris County practices. While the firm’s client-facing materials emphasize employee representation, its own “About Us” page also references experience “advising and representing individuals and employers,” which Awesome Attorneys is disclosing directly rather than presenting the firm as strictly one-sided.

Track Record

Robinson’s litigation record includes a published, independently verifiable Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision — Goudeau v. NOV, 793 F.3d 470 (5th Cir. 2015) — a level of case-citation verification not available for most firms in this category, whose results are typically self-reported without a published case citation.

Client Voice

Independent reviews describe responsive service, including same-day consultations and direct communication with Robinson himself rather than being routed to junior staff. Awesome Attorneys did not identify a pattern of negative or unresolved reviews warranting disclosure for this firm.

Beyond the Courtroom

The firm offers services in both English and Spanish, extending access to Houston’s Spanish-speaking workforce facing employment disputes — a practical, verifiable service detail rather than a general community-engagement claim.

Recognition for This Houston Employment & Labor Attorney

Robinson holds Board Certification in Labor and Employment Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, the credential this publication requires before using “specialist” language. He is AV Peer Review Rated by Martindale-Hubbell and has been named to Texas Super Lawyers and H Texas Magazine’s “Top Lawyers” list.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Texas follows the doctrine of at-will employment, meaning an employer can generally terminate a worker for any reason or no reason absent a legally protected exception such as discrimination or retaliation. Appeals from Texas federal district courts, including employment discrimination cases like Robinson’s published Fifth Circuit decision, route through the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which also covers Louisiana and Mississippi. None of this is legal advice; a specific employment matter should be evaluated by a licensed attorney based on the actual facts involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

TB Robinson Law Group’s clearest, most checkable differentiator is a published Fifth Circuit appellate decision bearing Robinson’s name as counsel — a level of independently verifiable litigation success that most firms in this category simply don’t have available for public verification. The honest trade-off: the firm’s own materials reference some experience representing employers alongside its primary employee-focused practice, so a prospective client should confirm directly which side the firm would represent them on. For an employee whose case may require appellate-level litigation, not just a settlement negotiation, this firm’s published case record is a genuine, checkable differentiator.
