Biography

Kim Ogg

General Counsel

I am a native Houstonian and attorney of 38 years, board certified in criminal law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1992.

From 2017 – 2024, I was the Harris County District Attorney. Prior to my two terms as DA, I served in many different roles in our justice system including Assistant District Attorney, Houston’s first Anti-Gang Task Force Director, Executive Director of Crime Stoppers of Houston and managing partner of my family’s boutique law firm.

While serving as the top law enforcement official in Harris County, my priorities were to stop the release of repeat violent offenders on bail; reduce the criminal case backlog through targeted prosecution of Houston's most violent criminals; and diversion of non-violent offenders into programs to keep them in the workforce. As the only Harris County District Attorney to complete two terms since 2000, I have rejoined the private sector. I currently serve as the Pro Bono General Counsel for Texas Crime Victims United.
