Pope Hardwicke

Pope, Hardwicke, Christie, Schell, Kelly & Taplett, L.L.P. is a Fort Worth law firm practicing across civil law. The areas it lists are business and corporate law; oil, gas and mineral law; water law; banking and creditors' rights; bankruptcy; real property; eminent domain; zoning and land use; real estate; estate planning and probate; civil litigation; and governmental law.

The firm's public identity leans toward oil, gas, and water law: its page titles and meta description lead with those practices, and its published history is built around them. Zoning, land use, eminent domain, and real property appear in the same list of civil practice areas but are not separately described on the crawled pages.

The present firm traces to Hardwicke and Hardwicke, which merged with Haddaway and Pope in 1952 to form the predecessor firm; the site describes itself as a Fort Worth law firm since 1952 with over 100 years of legal expertise. It is located in Fort Worth and Austin and serves clients in Tarrant County and throughout Texas, with its primary office at 500 W. 7th St, Suite 600, Fort Worth.

No fee information is published and no individual attorney is described as the zoning or land use lead. Ask on the first call which attorney handles municipal approvals and entitlement litigation, and whether the Austin office or the Fort Worth office would run the matter.
