McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. ("McCall") has practiced exclusively in the area of public fmance
<br />law since its creation in 1919. The firm's opinion (as to the validity and enforceability of a public entity's debt
<br />obligations and, later, tax exemption) was the first given by a Texas firm accepted in the national securiries
<br />markets. We are the only law firm in Texas, and one of a few law firms nationwide, that specialize solely in
<br />the field of public finance. The firm is composed ot 23 attorneys located in Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin.
<br />McCall is the leading bond counsel in Texas and routinely ranks in the top ten bond counsel firms
<br />nationally. Historically, the firm has served as bond counsel for more issuers of public securities than any
<br />other law firm in the southwestern United States. Our high national ranking is not only an indicarion of the
<br />stature of the firm in the public finance industry, but more importandy, an indication of the depth and
<br />breadth of our practice. We consistently achieve our high rankings by holding ourselves to the highest
<br />standards of technical experrise, professional dedication, client service and ethical responsibility.
<br />McCall represents some of the largest and most sophisricated issuers in the country, including the
<br />Cities of Austin, Dallas and Fort Worth, the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, the North Texas
<br />Tollway Authority, the Texas Department of Transportauon, the Texas Water Development Board, the
