Frank Andrews was a prominent railroad attorney in Houston, a State Assistant Attorney General under Texas Governor Charles Culberson, and the founder of the Houston law firm Andrews & Kurth. Andrews was a friend and confidant of both Congressman Tom Ball, with whom he started his law firm, and Colonel Edward Mandell House, who served as Woodrow Wilson's personal advisor. Andrews was heavily involved in the progressive and prohibition movements in Texas in the early part of the twentieth century. This collection is from Andrew's office at Andrews & Kurth. The majority is his personal correspondence files held by the firm along with some speeches, a small amount of legal and business materials, and photographs.
