Biography: Gene Anthes is a criminal defense attorney based in Austin, Texas, and a partner at Gunter, Bennett & Anthes. He represents people facing the full range of Texas criminal charges—DWI, assault, drug offenses, weapons cases, probation violations—and he maintains a statewide parole practice for clients preparing for parole interviews, reconsideration, or revocation matters. Gene’s approach is practical and story-driven. He is known for “mining for gold” in a client’s history—finding the details that show rehabilitation, human context, and legal defenses—and building them into clear, persuasive presentations for prosecutors, judges, juries, and parole decision-makers. Whether he’s challenging a traffic stop in a DWI, negotiating a pretrial diversion for a first-time offender, or preparing a family for a parole review, Gene prioritizes preparation, communication, and courtroom credibility. From Travis and Williamson Counties to Hays, Bastrop, Bell, and beyond, Gene appears regularly across Central Texas courts. In parole work, he travels statewide to meet clients in units, gather records, coordinate programming and evaluations, and coach families on effective participation during the Board’s process. He is comfortable with complex records—videos, body-cam, ignition interlock data, treatment files, disciplinary histories—and uses them to create tightly organized case packets the decision-maker can navigate quickly. Clients hire Gene for steady guidance when consequences are high and timelines are tight. He explains options in plain language, sets realistic expectations, and keeps clients informed at every step. His goal in every case is the same: protect the person, reduce risk, and secure the best available outcome. Gene is active in the Central Texas defense community and regularly collaborates with experts, treatment providers, and mitigation specialists. He welcomes referrals and co-counsel arrangements in both trial-level cases and parole matters. Outside the office, Gene is a husband and dad. He brings the same patience and perspective he uses at home to his law practice—listening carefully, asking the right questions, and doing the work that moves cases forward.
