Outside the office, family comes first for Paul. He and his wife, Jessica, have been married since 2004 and are the proud parents of their two daughters, Genevieve and Allana.

Jessica, a graduate of TCU, is an acute care nurse practitioner and is currently advancing her training to also become a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner.

As a family they love to travel, with frequent trips to Disney World and the Caribbean, and they share their home with a few rescue dogs, each with a second-chance story of its own.
