Frequently Asked Questions

What types of professional services businesses are being acquired in Texas?

The listed acquisitions span infrastructure-focused professional services, tax and financial services, litigation support/expert witness platforms, and specialized advisory or technical consulting (e.g., airport technology, accident reconstruction, landscape architecture).

Which Texas metro areas appear most often in these transactions?

The deal locations called out in the page facts are in Texas, with multiple targets described as Houston-based or Dallas-based (for example, Revenew, Mayatax, HL&B, and Trampe Settles).
