Roux Office Spotlight: Texas
Roux Texas began in 2017 with an office in The Woodlands, just north of Houston. Several members of Roux from across the country relocated to Texas, temporarily and permanently, to help jumpstart our efforts. Our goal was to better service petroleum clients in this region and expand our overall footprint, gaining opportunities in our additional markets. Since then, we have successfully integrated local expertise and boots-on-ground capabilities, moving to the heart of Houston. Today, we have about 20 employees with diverse skillsets, dedicated to servicing clients in the Gulf Coast area.
