"Fairness is what everyone should receive when entering the criminal court system. My successful career of over 25 years as an attorney and my entire campaign are simply based on fairness."
Meet Alvin
I was born in Hammond, Louisiana on December 19, 1956 to the late Eugene Nunnery, Sr. and Shirley Alexander Nunnery. I am the sixth of nine children. I have five brothers and three sisters. I graduated from Hammond High School in 1975. While in high school, I served as editor in chief of the school newspaper and I was a member of the student counsel.
I received my J.D. in the spring of 1982. I was offered a position as Assistant District Attorney in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, under then District Attorney, Ed Rendell, who was alum of Villanova Law School and is now the current Governor of Pennsylvania. I opted instead to come to Texas as it was considered the most economically growing area in the nation.
I took the Bar in July of 1982. I was admitted to the State Bar of Texas in November of 1982. During that period between taking the bar and being admitted to the bar, I accepted assignments as a substitute teacher in Fort Worth, Texas.
After admission to the Bar, I went to work for the Attorney General for the State of Texas, Jim Mattox, in Austin, Texas. I was assigned to the Enforcement Division, where I represented the State of Texas, in post conviction Habeas Corpus Proceedings in Federal Court.
I was then hired by Tarrant County District Attorney, Tim Curry as an Assistant District Attorney, where I served for approximately, 1 1/2 years.
In May of 1985 I married my wife, Angela Mosley-Nunnery, M.D. We moved to Houston and I immediately began working as an Assistant District Attorney in Harris County under Mr. Johnny B. Holmes. I prosecuted both misdemeanor and felony cases.
I was assigned to courts presided over by Judge Jon Hughes, Judge Jay Burnett and Judge Charley Hearn’s, Judge.
In 1990, I left the District Attorney’s office and began my practice as a Criminal Defense Attorney.
Since being in private practice, I have tried every criminal case imaginable, including: 13 Death Penalty Cases. I am entering my twenty-fifth year of marriage. I am the proud father of three children, two daughters and one son.
I am a former member of St. John’s United Methodist Church and New Mount Calvary Baptist Church. I am a current member of Fallbrook Church, where I teach a Men’s Bible Study. I have been a resident of Harris County since 1985, and I have lived in Kingwood since 1990.
