Firms headquartered in Texas outpaced the U.S. legal industry in revenue growth during the first quarter of 2019, but Texas demand declined by a large margin compared with the national average, according to data collected by the Citi Private Bank Law Firm Group.

First quarter revenue reported by the Texas-based firms in Citi’s survey was 5.6 % higher than during the first quarter of 2018. That compares with a 4.5% increase nationally.
