Witt joins
TDA as new general counsel
Texas
Agriculture Commissioner Susan Combs recently announced that Ellen Witt has joined the Texas Department of Agriculture as the agency's new general counsel.
Before joining TDA, Witt was an attorney with the law firm of Vinson & Elkins in Austin, where she practiced health law and corporate law. While at V&E, she advised health-related entities on regulatory compliance and represented developing companies in capital-raising and corporate governance.
"In her position as TDA's general counsel, Ellen's broad legal background and expertise will be tremendous assets to this agency and the state's agricultural industry," Combs said.
Witt graduated from The University of Texas School of Law and is a native of Houston.
Witt replaces Kathryn Reed, who will retire Dec. 31 after almost 29 years of service to the state. Since 1999, she has represented agriculture and rural interests while working at TDA.
