Davis & Associates expands Houston corporate immigration services

Davis & Associates has expanded Houston-focused corporate immigration services for foreign-owned companies, U.S. employers, executives, entrepreneurs and investors. The move comes as Houston’s international business base grows and employers look for help with workforce mobility, compliance and long-term sponsorship planning.

Why it matters: - Houston employers compete for global talent in industries that rely on cross-border hiring and transfers. - Immigration mistakes can disrupt project timelines, executive moves, hiring plans and compliance. - The expansion gives companies more support for workforce planning tied to business growth, mergers and new-office launches.

What happened: - Davis & Associates announced a Houston-focused expansion of its corporate immigration services on July 9, 2026. - The Texas immigration law firm has offices in Houston and Dallas. - The expanded practice is designed to help international companies, foreign-owned businesses and U.S. employers recruit, transfer and retain key personnel. - The initiative follows the firm's June 23 expansion of its Business Immigration Practice.

The details: - The firm’s Houston practice covers H-1B specialty occupation petitions, L-1A and L-1B intracompany transfers, TN status, O-1 petitions, E-1 treaty trader matters, E-2 treaty investor matters, and employment-based permanent residence. - Permanent residence services include PERM labor certification, EB-1 multinational manager or executive petitions, and other immigrant visa categories. - Davis & Associates also helps foreign companies establish or expand U.S. operations and supports employers hiring international professionals. - The firm works with founders, senior management, human resources teams and in-house counsel on corporate structure, qualifying relationships, job duties, work locations, wage requirements, filing timing, consular processing, dependent family needs and long-term immigration goals. - Houston’s Mayor’s Office of International Affairs reports that more than 5,000 Houston companies engage in international business and about 1,000 firms report foreign ownership. - Houston is a major center for energy, healthcare, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, logistics, technology and international trade. - The firm also advises on Form I-9 compliance, employment eligibility issues, immigration consequences of corporate changes, and immigration planning tied to mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations and new-office expansion. - Davis & Associates serves companies and individuals throughout the Houston metro area and across Texas. - The firm represents multinational companies, privately held businesses, healthcare organizations, entrepreneurs, investors, educational institutions and professionals in employment-based and business immigration matters. - The company’s website is gldlaw.com. - Houston office contact: 6220 Westpark Drive, Suite 110, Houston, TX 77057; 832-742-0066. - Dallas office contact: 469-957-0508. - The firm was founded in 2007 by Garry L. Davis. - Garry L. Davis is board certified in Immigration and Nationality Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Between the lines: - The expansion positions Davis & Associates as a business immigration adviser for employers that need legal planning aligned with operational decisions, not just case filing. - Houston’s international economy creates demand for counsel that can handle both visa strategy and workplace compliance. - The emphasis on early planning suggests the firm is targeting risk reduction for companies that make fast hiring or transfer decisions.

What's next: - Davis & Associates plans to keep publishing educational materials for employers, entrepreneurs and investors on business immigration strategy, compliance and long-term planning. - The Houston practice will likely remain focused on employers managing staffing, mobility and growth across changing immigration rules.

The bottom line: - Davis & Associates is betting that Houston’s global business base will keep driving demand for practical immigration planning that supports hiring and expansion.**
