In 2004, he returned to Texas and continued his prosecutorial career, serving as the First Assistant District Attorney in Brown County and later as an Assistant District Attorney with the Border Prosecution Unit, a collaborative statewide effort focused on serious crimes in Texas border communities.

In addition to his prosecutorial work, Mr. Sims spent several years in private practice, representing clients in both criminal defense and civil matters. His breadth of experience on both sides of the courtroom gives him a unique perspective in crafting effective, strategic defenses for clients facing serious charges.
