MEGAN ROPER

Attorney

Megan is a proud life-long Texan. She was born and raised in San Antonio. She graduated from Texas State University in San Marcos before returning home to San Antonio to complete her law degree at St. Mary’s University School of Law. 

As a law student, Megan worked at Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid where she helped low-income Texans with legal issues. She also interned at the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office and the Office of Public Defender for the Western District of Texas. Her experience in the district attorney’s office was both enlightening and career changing. Working there opened her eyes to the vast and pervasive abuses fellow citizens suffer at the hands of the criminal justice system. That experience has made Megan a passionate advocate for the rights of her fellow citizens. 

After receiving her law license in 2011, Megan devoted her practice to defending those accused of crimes by the government. She began her career in San Antonio, initially focusing on intoxication related offenses, including DWI and other drug crimes. 

In 2016, Megan moved to the North Texas area and shifted her focus to cannabis related issues, including criminal defense, advice and consultation services for emerging businesses in the cannabis industry, and education of fellow lawyers regarding cannabis issues. 

In 2020, Megan joined JBabb Criminal Defense where she continues to fiercely defend the rights of her fellow citizens when they are accused of crimes. 

In her time as an lawyer, Megan has tried a wide variety of criminal charges, including DWI, drug possession, theft, assault and murder. 

In addition to her work inside a courtroom, Megan is an advocate for the reform of cannabis laws in Texas. 

Megan is a founding board member of the Texas Association of Cannabis Lawyers, a former board member of the San Antonio Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, an executive board member of the Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, a member of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, and a member of the Legal Committee of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

Megan is licensed to practice law in both state (Texas) and federal courts.
