The Spotlight on CB Trial's Legal Titans
Roll the dice, folks—who stands up in Texas’ legal playground? It's Callender Bowlin, PLLC's hotshots again securing their hallmark in the 2026 Texas Super Lawyers gauntlet. This ain’t their first rodeo, either. Founding partners Mark Callender and Josh Bowlin—names synonymous with high-stakes litigation—continue to bask in the elite glow, joined by associate Brittany Schuchmann, who’s sharpening her steel as a Rising Star. That’s right, CB Trial stays on the frontline, swinging legal swords from Houston, Denver, and Albuquerque.
Seasoned Warriors in Legal Battlefields
Mark Callender and Josh Bowlin didn't just walk into the room—they charged in and held onto their seats on the Super Lawyers list like seasoned warriors. It's Callender's third consecutive year, standing after a decade-long streak of being a Rising Star from 2005 to 2015. Bowlin’s been in this winning circle every year since 2020. This ain't just a backslapping echo; it’s earned. The legal circus cherry-picks no more than 5% of Texas' lawyers for this list each year, and these guys are at the bullseye, shepherding cases that could buckle knees.
"It's one thing to handle courtrooms, but CB Trial wields a courtroom presence like a well-oiled machine," commentators whisper in the halls.

Rising Star: Brittany Schuchmann's Ascent
Now, knuckle up for the young gun—Brittany Schuchmann, who’s blazing trails under 40 or with less than ten years in the law biz. Her inclusion in the illustrious Rising Stars cadre isn't mere praise; it's reflective of courtroom instincts that hawkishly perch above the ordinary—few can rival her tenacity when the chips are down. No more than 2.5% of her Texas peers can claim this Rising Star badge each year.
Fierce Advocacy with a Personal Touch
Schuchmann's track record in complex commercial litigation and catastrophic injury cases is more than just numbers—it’s a saga of fierce advocacy with a personal touch. You need grit to dance the intricate choreography of wrongful death suits or the specialized terrain of dental malpractice. That's not easy, folks—these cases test the mettle and demand unparalleled client involvement.
Brittany insists on clients being active participants in the dance of legal warfare. Her approach ensures that legal strategies are comprehensive and personally tailored, leaving no room for loose ends.
A Boutique Firm with Big-Firm Impact
CB Trial isn't just any old shop on the legal strip; they’re a boutique biz swinging with big-firm punch. From representing businesses against colossal obstacles to taking up the cudgels for individuals in courts across state lines, their prowess in litigation is wide-spread and potent. That’s critical for stakeholders watching the legal juggernaut race across the stage.
Texas Super Lawyers' nods only corroborate CB Trial's prominence in the sector—they’re not just practicing law; they’re architects of modern judicial prowess, and they make no bones about taking point in challenging terrains. As we chew on that, mark this: in the cutthroat world of high-stakes litigation, this firm’s story of continued excellence isn’t unwarranted—it’s a lesson in consistency and unyielding prestige.
