GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Tax Litigation Division defends the State when it is sued by plaintiffs challenging their tax liabilities, unemployment benefits decisions and wage claim decisions. The Division represents the Comptroller of Public Accounts and the Texas Workforce Commission as its clients in these cases. The Office of the Attorney General’s Tax Litigation Division seeks attorneys to defend the State of Texas at all stages of litigation in Texas courts. The OAG seeks qualified, self-motivated candidates to manage cases from inception to conclusion, drafting motions and discovery, appearing at hearings, trying cases, and handling appeals, as well as assisting other attorneys. The attorney filling this position will build on their litigation skills in a teamwork environment and gain experience in representing important clients.
Suits against the Comptroller often have millions of dollars at issue with large, well-known companies on the other side. TWC suits challenge employers’ unemployment tax liability as well as the agency’s decisions on unemployment benefits and wage claims, which allow the opportunity for frequent court appearances.
The Division’s cases generally involve discovery into a plaintiff’s business practices to determine whether their business model fits into the tax exemption they seek. Math is almost never involved, and tax experience is not required, nor preferred.
The OAG is a dynamic state agency with over 4,000 employees throughout the State of Texas. As the State’s law firm, the OAG provides exemplary legal representation in diverse areas of law. OAG employees enjoy excellent benefits ( along with tremendous opportunities to do important work at a large, dynamic state agency making a positive difference in the lives of Texans. Assistant Attorneys General (AAGs) experience the challenge and honor of public service while enjoying a healthy work-life balance; hands-on legal experience; and engaging camaraderie in Austin, the scenic and lively capital of Texas
