Corpus Christi Artist Mayra Zamora was commissioned by Herrman and Herrman PLLC to design our building with a mural in April 2020. The mural was finished May 2020 and is titled “VIVA CCTX.” VIVA CCTX is a rainbow-like mural with many black and white hidden messages for viewers to decipher over time. There are heavy influences from Pre-Columbian and Modern art in her mural. The mural also features symbols local to the Corpus Christi area, like the Texas A&M Corpus Christi University logos, Del Mar College logos (both are schools she went to), and city, state, and national flags.
In April 2021, we commissioned Mayra Zamora a second time to continue “VIVA CCTX.” Mayra Zamora finished the second edition of the mural in June of 2021. This mural is in the same Mexican-American iridescent style with coded black and white messaging as the first edition. The most significant difference is the symbols initially only dedicated to the community are now highlighting symbols synonymous with law and the local community.
In July 2021, our law firm commissioned Mayra once more to create a third mural as part of our building. This mural is painted onto our law firm’s window shutters and resembles the design of an authentic Mexican blanket known as a “serape.” This third mural is again in the same stunning polychromatic design rooted in culture local to our community and Zamora’s heritage.
Together, the three murals are titled “COLORES DE LA VIDA,” meaning Colors of life in English. Colores De La Vida is the first LGBTQ+ mural in Corpus Christi. Mayra Zamora and her team worked on these murals for over a year and are a sensation to see, worth taking a focused, in-depth look to appreciate the beauty and decipher the hidden messages in her work.
Mayra Zamora had help painting her three murals to cover the entire building. Eugene Soliz, Jose Gonzalez IV, Eva McLain, Natalia Hinojasa, Heaven Garrison, and Jocelyn Castillo were her assistants.

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death. Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
