Jo Bess enjoys spending time with her family, including the newest addition, a white Labrador Retriever puppy, Beni Jun. Her grandchildren include an 11-year-old master of Nintendo GameCube, an eight-year-old who loves horses, an almost three-year-old with unlimited promise, and an almost one-year old with a smile as big as Texas.

When time allows, her hobbies include RV travel, yoga, genealogy, photo restoration, lake fishing, and most recently Nintendo GameCube.

In addition to her private practice, Jo Bess volunteers her services with Dallas Legal Hospice. She also gives time to numerous charitable causes and business organizations in her community.
