About Us

---

We are Bruce and Fabienne McGovern. We started McGovern Tax Services, LLC, because we believe there is a need for high quality, reasonably priced tax preparation services. 

We have lived in the Houston area for more than twenty years and have lived in Katy since 2009. We have been married for more than twenty-five years and have two children who attend Katy ISD schools. We are active in youth sports, the scouting program, and other aspects of the Katy community.

For the last twenty years, he has been a full-time law school professor and has taught taxation to thousands of law students. Before teaching, he practiced tax law with a large international law firm in Washington, DC.

• Bruce spends a lot of time keeping up with developments in the tax field and speaks about recent tax developments at conferences all across the country for both CPAs and attorneys. You may have read Bruce's comments or heard him speak in the media about taxes in sources such as the Houston Chronicle, Houston Matters, and the Bauer Business Focus on KUHF. He earned his B.A. at Columbia University, his J.D. at Fordham University School of Law, and his LL.M. (Master of Laws) in Taxation at the University of Florida College of Law.
