Senior Partner | The Texas 2A Attorney
Known across the state as The Texas 2A Attorney, CJ Grisham is a fierce defender of the Second Amendment and a nightmare for government entities that overstep their bounds. As the founder of Open Carry Texas, he has spent over a decade on the front lines of constitutional advocacy.
CJ’s legal work is backed by a career of real-world service. A retired U.S. Army First Sergeant and decorated combat veteran, his background in military intelligence brings a tactical edge to the courtroom. He litigates complex civil rights lawsuits under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, including the qualified immunity defenses that government officials raise in them.
A graduate of the Appalachian School of Law, CJ combines veteran discipline with an uncompromising commitment to the original intent of the Constitution.
