Fighting for Justice After Conviction - Serving All of Texas
Justice doesn't end at the verdict. When a conviction feels final, it can seem like the system has shut every door. For many families, post-conviction cases come after years of frustration, missed opportunities, and being told “there’s nothing left to do.”
At Blizzard & Zimmerman Attorneys, we know that a criminal case does not end with a trial or a denied appeal. Post conviction relief, criminal appeals, and Texas habeas corpus litigation are a core part of our practice - it's not an afterthought.
If your direct appeal was denied, deadlines were missed, or prior attorneys failed to protect your rights, we work to uncover new legal avenues to challenge wrongful convictions, unconstitutional sentences, and serious trial errors.
Focused on Post-Conviction Relief Across Texas
We represent clients statewide in:
Texas post-conviction relief
Article 11.07 writs of habeas corpus
Criminal appeals and out-of-time appeals
Ineffective assistance of counsel claims
Wrongful convictions and innocence claims
Unlawful or excessive sentences
Our board certified attorneys carefully review trial transcripts, discovery files, appellate records, and prior filings to identify constitutional violations, judicial misconduct, and errors that were overlooked - or never raised at all.
When other attorneys stop looking, we start digging.
Board-Certified Criminal Experience You Can Trust
Our team includes board-certified criminal appellate attorneys with extensive experience handling complex post conviction and habeas cases throughout Texas. These cases demand precision, patience, and deep knowledge of Texas criminal procedure - and we handle them every day.
We take the time to:

- Explain your legal options clearly and honestly
- Guide you and your family through what comes next
You will never be left guessing where your case stands.
