Grace G. Kunde

Living on a family dairy farm in Bexar County, my childhood days were spent enjoying fresh country air and quiet evenings. The rumble of the train and hum of hot rod engines making circle rounds on a country racetrack were pleasant sounds in the nighttime peacefulness. I understand the value of the family business requiring all hands on deck. Developing an entrepreneurial spirit at an early age, I sold my first baby calf on the phone at five years old according to my mother!

I worked my way through Texas Lutheran College, graduating in three years (back in the day when there were no college credits in high school). My “college tuition assistance” was working for a local small business in Seguin where I learned how to moisture test grain, calculate long haul driver’s tickets, and balance a checkbook without computer software. I took away from that experience a deep appreciation for the excitement, dynamics, and challenges in operating a family owned business.

I graduated from St. Mary’s Law School in 1990 (top 20% of my class wasn’t too bad for a small town country girl!). I was fortunate to start my legal career as a Briefing Attorney at the Fourth Court of Appeals in San Antonio, Texas. Reading court records from cases across 32 counties in South Texas gave me a unique insight into how a seemingly “simple” business or real estate transaction can turn into financially and emotionally consuming litigation for the real people involved.

I have been handling the legal needs of banks, small businesses, and individuals. My usual day at the office consists of drafting legal documents and advising banks on loans and customer related matters; business owners on their vendor and purchaser contracts; property owners on deeds, easements, and leases; and individuals on estate planning and probate.  My passion for real estate law led me to focus my practice on representing clients in real estate matters, so much so I became Board Certified in 2007 in Farm and Ranch Real Estate Law by the Texas Board of Specialization (there are only 63 Texas attorneys who hold this certification). I aim to provide superior representation to my clients whether I am preparing a loan package for a bank, writing a contract for a business owner, preparing a will, or probating an estate.  I represent clients in legal matters throughout South Central Texas, including Guadalupe, Bexar, Comal, Kendall, Hays, Wilson, Atascosa, La Salle, Aransas, Nueces, and Dimmit Counties.

Weekends find me spending time with my husband, Wyatt “Butch” Kunde (yes, true Texan families have a “Butch”), our son Wyatt and his wife Monica, and our daughter Scarlett.
