San Antonio, Texas (PRWEB) August 23, 2013 -- Cox Smith, the largest Texas law firm headquartered in San Antonio, today announced that 53 of its attorneys were selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America© 2014, including lawyers from each of the firm’s five Texas offices. (Copyright 2013 by Woodward/White, Inc., of Aiken, SC).
