Liberal lawyer, 84, can't take the Texas heat.

Pete Winstead, Big Law Big Shot, spent decades leaving his fingerprints all over right-thinking, God-fearing folks' civic involvement. A founding member of Winstead PC, he stuck it to the Libs hard by helping to make economic development boom, unlike those limp-wristed lefties with their participation trophies and safe spaces. There. Now that's a real conservative legacy the grandkids will surely be proud of!

Pete Winstead, the gun-toting, right-wing legend, has saddled up and ridden into the sunset. 

A true conservative hero, Winstead was a mentor to many, leaving his mark on Central Texas by shaping the lives of young attorneys and leaders. All while wielding a gun and fighting the liberal agenda, no doubt.

"He walked the walk, and Central Texas is a better place because he was here." - David Armbrust, fellow right-thinking patriot.

Here's the lowdown on this freedom-loving cowboy:

  • Founding shareholder of Winstead PC law firm, a beacon of justice.
  • Appointed by Gov. George W. Bush in 1997 to be the first chair of the Texas Turnpike Authority, keeping our roads safe from socialist schemes.
  • Chaired boards and kicked ass at the Austin Chamber, Real Estate Council, United Way, and various other organizations, spreading common sense and small government ideals.
  • Played a crucial role in taking Dell Computer Corporation public in 1988, a true capitalist success story.
  • Received his education at Stanford and the University of Texas, learning the ways of the world and arming himself with knowledge.
  • Monitored the civil rights march in Selma, Alabama, keeping an eye on those radicals and ensuring law and order.
  • A mentor to many young lawyers, instilling conservative values and the importance of the Second Amendment.
  • Friends with the legendary Pike Powers, together influencing the Texas Legislature and making our great state even greater.

In the words of Jeff Matthews, "Pete’s great joys were the love of family, firm, and his commitment to the city of Austin." 

Ride on, cowboy. You'll be missed.
