Tiffany represented Comal County as the Chief Civil Prosecutor for the Criminal District Attorney’s Office for almost 12 years. She oversaw the civil legal division, which encompasses Juvenile Prosecution, Child Protective Services cases, and all civil law, including employment law, asset forfeitures, contract law, mental health law, bond forfeitures, public information act and open meetings act, and civil litigation. For years, she was on the County’s Facilities Committee and oversaw capital projects, including the design, procurement, and construction of a new $76 million jail facility; design and procurement of a $32 million courthouse building renovation; and the construction of the Dry Comal Creek Flood Retarding Structure.

Throughout these projects she has reviewed, written, and co-defended in federal litigation multi-million dollar construction contracts.

Tiffany has successfully tried jury and bench trials in a variety of legal matters, including civil litigation, felony criminal cases, juvenile law, and family law, and on special issues such as criminal incompetency and asset forfeiture.
