Representative Thierry is a native Houstonian as well as a life-long resident of House District 146. Thierry spent her early childhood in the South Park community. She is the proud product of the public education system as she attended Patt Neff Elementary in the Sharpstown community. Her family subsequently relocated to the Fondren Southwest neighborhood (also in HD146) where she attended Welch Middle School and graduated from Westbury Senior High School. Thierry was admitted to Howard University in Washington, DC and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Broadcast Management and a minor in Business Administration.

She has practiced law at the law firms of Jackson Walker, LLP and Wickliff & Hall, PC. Ms. Thierry is presently the proud solo practitioner of her own law firm, Law Offices of Shawn Thierry.
Thierry takes pride in her upbringing and comes from a very close-knit and hardworking family. She currently resides in the Northfield community of HD 146 with her daughter, Klaire Bijou.

Thierry deeply believes in giving back to her community and has volunteered and served on numerous boards of various professional, civic and charitable organizations. Thierry has been a member of Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church for thirty-five years.
From representing the rights of injured victims, employees, to assisting children and families needing legal recourse, Thierry is a strong advocate for protecting the interest of the underserved. Thierry possesses a stellar body of professional and community work and is known for her sharp negotiating skills.
Thierry cites her personal life creed from the quote of Erma Bombeck, “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and I could say, ‘I used everything that you gave me.'”
Thierry currently serves the Texas Legislature as a member of the House of Representatives and sits on the County Affairs Committee and the Committee on Juvenile Justice and Family Issues. Representative Thierry looks forward to shaping good public policy on behalf of her constituents by being a formidable legislator in the great state of Texas.
