Angela Hunt, Shareholder at Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr

Angela is a shareholder at the law firm of Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr in Dallas, where she spearheads the firm’s Zoning & Land Use practice, advising clients in North Texas and across the state in resolving complex zoning issues. For more than a decade, Angela has been recognized as one of the best zoning attorneys in Dallas by D Magazine.

Before joining Munsch Hardt, Angela served on the Dallas City Council for eight years, where she gained a reputation as a champion of transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility. Her key issues included improving neighborhood quality of life, creating a more pedestrian- and bike-friendly urban core, developing responsible urban gas drilling regulations, reforming the municipal court system, and preserving the Trinity River greenbelt as a recreational amenity.

During her time on the Dallas City Council, Angela became best known for her opposition to Dallas’ long-planned and controversial Trinity Toll Road project, a nine-mile, high-speed roadway planned within the city’s premier greenbelt. After leaving the Council, Angela remained an outspoken critic of the Trinity Toll Road. In August 2017, in response to growing public opposition, the Dallas City Council voted to eliminate the controversial project. The Dallas Morning News acknowledged Angela’s contribution to the toll road’s demise, noting that “The Trinity River toll road is dead, and Dallas has Angela Hunt to thank for it.”

In addition to her work on the Trinity Toll Road issue, Angela led the effort to revitalize the deteriorating and crime-plagued Lower Greenville area into a thriving neighborhood retail district, using creative zoning tools and pedestrian-oriented streetscape improvements. The street was recognized as one of the top 100 "Cool Streets in North America" by Cushman & Wakefield in 2016.

Recognition of Angela’s work on the Council includes selection as the "City’s Best Councilmember" by the Dallas Observer every year of her service. In 2008, she was among 53 emerging American leaders chosen to receive the Marshall Memorial Fellowship, and in 2012, she received the inaugural "Outstanding Alumna" award from Rice University’s Department of Women & Gender Studies. In 2012, the League of Women Voters of Dallas honored Angela with the Virginia MacDonald Leadership Award, which recognizes courage in working for change and inspiring leadership in others.

Angela is a member of the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Board of Directors and the Klyde Warren Park/Dallas Arts District Public Improvement District. In 2024, she served on the City of Dallas Charter Review Commission. She and her husband live in East Dallas with their two daughters and a pet rabbit.
