Gregory R. Terra
Greg Terra has practiced criminal law in Williamson County, Texas since 2003, when he was an Assistant County Attorney with the office of the Williamson County Attorney. As a prosecutor, he handled literally hundreds of criminal cases, including DWI/DUI, drug possession, theft, and assault, and many of his cases went to trial where he earned a successful trial record. Since entering private practice in 2005, he has represented clients in hundreds of criminal cases, over a third of which have been either dismissed or reduced to a lesser charge (for final case disposition of prior cases visit: http://judicialsearch.wilco.org/). He believes that this practical experience will help him successfully navigate you through the legal process in this uniquely tough-on-crime county.
Before attending law and graduate schools in Virginia, Greg served as an active-duty U.S. Army engineer officer and was stationed in Korea, Hawaii, and Missouri, before earning the rank of Captain in the U.S. Army Reserve. Greg holds a Juris Doctor in Law and a Master of Arts in Political Management (Campaigns/Elections) from Regent University at Virginia Beach, Virginia (2001), a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from Texas A&M University at College Station, Texas (1996), and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Oklahoma at Norman, Oklahoma (1988). Greg lives in Round Rock, Texas, with his wife and two daughters. In his spare time he enjoys politics, running, backpacking, travel, skiing, and spending time with his family. Greg and his family are members of Liveoak Bible Church in Austin, Texas.
