Wendi Andino was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and raised in Parker County, Texas. She graduated from Weatherford High School in 2000. Wendi then went on to graduate magna cum laude from the University of North Texas in 2004 with Bachelors' Degrees in Spanish and International Development. During college, Wendi spent some time living in Honduras where she taught economically disadvantaged children of all grade levels. While at UNT Wendi also became a member of Golden Key, Mortar Board, and Phi Kappa Phi Honors Societies and was named an AmeriCorps Volunteer of the Year. After her undergraduate studies, Wendi met and married her husband and spent several years working in Spanish-language television broadcasting.
In 2011, Wendi left broadcasting to pursue a law degree at Texas A&M University School of Law. While at A&M, Wendi was a member of the Phi Delta Phi International Legal Honor Society and the Tarrant County Young Lawyers Association, worked for several law offices in the DFW metroplex, and interned with the Parker County Attorney's Office. However, Wendi believes that her greatest accomplishment during law school was the birth of her son, Christian. Wendi graduated with her Juris Doctor degree in 2014 and was admitted to the State Bar of Texas that same year. Immediately after law school, Wendi spent time in Dallas working in estate planning and trust administration.
In late 2015, Wendi and her family relocated from Dallas back home to Parker County and she opened a thriving private practice in Weatherford. In January 2024, Wendi merged her firm with the firm of her friend and long-time colleague, Jennifer Ruelas. Ruelas Andino Law provides superior representation and service in the areas of Estate Planning, Probate, Guardianship, Business Entity Formation/Asset Protection, and Real Estate law.
In her free time, Wendi enjoys attending her son’s many basketball, soccer, and lacrosse games across the metroplex and beyond. She also enjoys running, spending time with her husband, caring for their many goats, and cuddling with their goldendoodle “Daisy.”
