Paul Harle

Senior Attorney

ABHR attorneys practice in public finance and public infrastructure, advising on land development matters and local government regulation while serving as general counsel and bond counsel to special purpose districts responsible for building and maintaining essential public facilities.

Paul works with special purpose districts, including municipal utility districts, public improvement districts, and water control and improvement districts. His practice focuses on advising districts on governance, regulatory compliance, and a broad range of legal matters affecting public entities.

In that role, Paul handled complex federal matters and worked closely with law enforcement agencies, regulators, and courts across multiple jurisdictions.

Paul has worked with numerous districts throughout Texas, including the Comal County Master Water Improvement District; Comal County WID Nos. 1A through 1F; Cotton Center MUD Nos. 1 and 2 of Caldwell County; Lamar Improvement District; Medina County Fresh Water Supply District No. 5; Medina Stonehill Special Improvement District; Park Place MUD of Guadalupe County; Purlsong Municipal Management District of Comal County; Ranch at Clear Fork Creek MUD Nos. 1 and 2; Redbird Ranch Fresh Water Supply District Nos. 2 and 3; Regency Ranch Improvement District of Guadalupe County; Sienna Lakes Special Improvement District; and Williamson County MUD No. 28.
