Houston Mediators
Houston's mediation practice reflects the city's docket: energy and construction disputes, catastrophic personal injury, medical malpractice out of the Texas Medical Center, and a steady stream of commercial cases from Harris County's civil courts. The neutrals below range from career litigators turned full-time mediators to former jurists, and each one's calendar on this page updates hourly.
Houston has 19 mediators on this list. Of those, 18 handle personal injury, 18 take commercial disputes, and 17 mediate construction matters; 9 publish their rates, which run $500–$1,250 per party for a half day and $1,000–$2,400 for a full day. Like every Texas district court, Harris County’s civil and family courts can refer a case to mediation under Chapter 154 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, and most docket control orders set a mediation deadline well before the trial setting. Each calendar below refreshes hourly from the mediator’s own scheduling system, so the open dates you see are current.

Do Houston courts require mediation before trial?
Texas courts may refer any civil or family case to mediation under Chapter 154 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, and Harris County judges routinely do — most docket control orders set a mediation deadline before the trial date. A party who objects in writing within ten days of the referral notice can ask the court to withdraw it, but in practice nearly every case mediates at least once. Choosing a mediator early, while good dates are still open, is the easiest way to meet the deadline.
