During his professional career Judge Casseb received many honors including: Outstanding Trial Judge by the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, Judge Joe Frazier Brown Award, St. Thomas More Award, Webb County Bar Association “Lifetime Achievement Award”, and he was named the 1961 Outstanding Ex-Student of St. Mary’s University and “Mr. South Texas” for 1991.
Judge Casseb’s service as co-trustee of the Lamar Bruni Vergara Trust gave him the opportunity to accomplish many benefits for the residents of Laredo and Webb County. During his tenure, the trust made more than $65,000,000 in charitable, civic, religious and educational grants.
A reception will follow the unveiling of the bust.
