Lisa White Watkins is a fifth generation Houstonian. Her Great-great-great grandfather, C.F. Duer moved from Germany in 1835, settling in the Republic of Texas. Lisa's ancestors have continuously lived in Houston and C.F.'s original log cabin can be toured at the Harris County Heritage Society Park. Perhaps Lisa's interest in the law and litigation are genetic-- C.F. was a juror in the case of Sam Houston vs. Mirabeau B. Lamar and chronicled the events in his German language journals, which are now archived at Baylor University. C.F. ran a small business in downtown Houston, and was the first post-master of Rose Hill, Texas on Cypress Creek. His entrepreneurial spirit was passed on to his daughters, who in turn married local businessmen. Lisa didn't start out thinking she would follow in C.F.'s footsteps by being a small business owner when she graduated from law school, but once she opened the doors to her first law office in downtown Houston on Main Street, the die was cast.
