Mary C Burdette
The firm now known as Calloway, Norris, Burdette & Weber,PLLC was founded in 1926 by Charles D. Turner and J. Woodall Rodgers. Mr. Turner and Mr. Rodgers each served as President of the Dallas Bar Association. In honor of Mr. Rodgers, who was also the Mayor of Dallas, the city named the Woodall Rodgers Freeway after him. The firm has also had two Texas Attorney Generals: Grover Sellers and Will Wilson.
In the early days the firm was known for its general civil practice, with a heavy involvement in oil and gas and related litigation. R.W. Calloway joined the firm in 1960 to practice probate, estate, and tax law. For more than forty years, his practice has been limited to those areas. Today, Mr. Calloway, Mr. Norris, and Ms. Burdette practice exclusively in these areas. Mr. Weber continues to represent clients in complex business litigation - in addition to probate, estate and trust litigation.
The firm is the only one in Dallas to have had three members serve as chairperson of the Probate, Estates and Trust Law Section - one of the largest sections of the Dallas Bar Association. In addition, in the 1970s Mr. Calloway, who continues to sit as a Special Judge of the Probate Court, developed many of the accounting and other forms still used today by the three Probate Courts in Dallas County.
