About Donald
Don Walheim is a school attorney, representing Texas public school districts, which he has done effectively for close to 30 years. Having begun the practice of law in 1971 as a general practitioner involved with diverse civil and criminal litigation, he eventually converted his practice to represent school districts, beginning in 1977, when he started representing his first school district client. He continues to represent that same client today. Since 1977, Mr. Walheim has become an authority in school and administrative law and is a well-known advocate in the courts and before the Texas Education Agency on behalf of school districts and school boards throughout the State. In addition, he has testified before the Senate Education Committee in Austin, Texas, on legislation affecting the State’s public schools.
Mr. Walheim has devoted a substantial portion of his practice to work as general counsel for various Texas school districts, both in and outside San Antonio. He advises school boards and their administrators on a daily basis on such diverse issues as labor relations, employment law, contract law, special education, elections, open meetings, open records, purchasing and many other issues that are too numerous to include in this short biography.
Several noteworthy cases in which he has been involved are the landmark decisions in the United States Supreme Court and Texas Supreme Court to include Plyler v. Doe and Texas v. Certain Named and Unnamed Undocumented Alien Children; and Edgewood ISD v. Kirby.
