Henry chooses to give back to Texans every week through a statewide campaign Prominent Texas-based personal injury attorney Thomas J. Henry has surprised social media users with a unique way of marking his birthday. Known for his extravagant parties in previous years, the lawyer decided to forgo the glitz and instead give away $1 million to residents across Texas in a new philanthropic campaign.
What Is the TJH Million Dollar Giveaway?
On April 5, Henry turned a year older and announced his “TJH Million Dollar Giveaway” through a video on social media. He shared that this year, he wanted to do something meaningful. Beginning Monday, April 7, his firm will give away $25,000 each week until December 2025. That weekly amount will be split between five winners, with each person receiving $5,000.
The campaign will culminate in December with two grand prize winners — both receiving $100,000 each. “It’s Thomas J. Henry’s birthday — but this year, you’re getting the gift!” a post on his law firm’s official Instagram page read. “It’s our way of saying THANK YOU to those who follow us, hire us, trust us, and supported us. Now, it’s our turn to give back.”
