Dear clients and friends:

We have some exciting news to share with you.  Oppenheimer, Blend, Harrison and Tate, has joined the firm of Strasburger & Price.  Our combined firm will be known in San Antonio as Strasburger Price Oppenheimer Blend.

We are proud to be your attorneys and look forward to continue serving you with expanded capability and expertise.  You can expect to receive the same excellent and responsive service from our attorneys at the same competitive rates that have always provided you with outstanding value.

All current practicing shareholders of Oppenheimer Blend will join the combined firm, including the three remaining name shareholders, Stanley Blend, Reese Harrison and John Tate along with David Oppenheimer, head of Oppenheimer Blend's Corporate & Securities Practice group, and son of the late Jesse Oppenheimer, the firm's founder.

Strasburger is one of the state's leading law firms with offices in Austin, Collin County, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, New York, Washington, D.C. and Mexico City.  Statewide, the combined firm will be one of the 20 largest firms in the state with more than 210 attorneys.  In San Antonio, Strasburger Price Oppenheimer Blend will be the city's fourth largest firm with more than 40 attorneys.

This combination is a game changer.  It allows our already strong firms to offer even more value and expertise to our clients. 

For us, as a part of Strasburger's broad suite of specialty services, we will be able to deliver a wider range of legal services -- such as complex litigation, immigration, and intellectual property -- on a larger platform.  We look forward to offering these expanded legal services with the same depth of expertise you have come to expect from our unequalled tax, estate planning, corporate, bankruptcy and health care practices.

Moreover, the cultures of our two firms are compatible, and the core principles by which Strasburger operates match those of our founder, Jesse Oppenheimer.

While the firms initially will remain in their existing office spaces, we plan to consolidate into a single San Antonio office in early 2012.

Please join us as we celebrate another milestone in our firm's history.  As always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me or any of our attorneys.

Yours truly,

Marty Roos, CEO
Oppenheimer, Blend, Harrison and Tate, Inc.
