Financially, 2013 was a so-so year for many of the 25 highest-grossing firms in Texas. That’s largely because a madhouse of deals in late 2012, spurred by tax law changes, siphoned work out of the first months of 2013.

The 25 highest-grossing firms in Texas brought in gross revenue totaling $5.0 billion in 2013, down from $5.4 billion in 2012. Gross revenue in 2013 fell at more than half of the firms compared with 2012, although the declines were small in most cases.
