Morrigan Land was born and raised in New Braunfels, Texas. Her parents are Gordan Land and Cheryl Casteel Boldt. She attended New Braunfels high school where she played on the volleyball team and went to the state playoffs for volleyball. Morgan graduated early from Texas A&M University with honors. She then went to Washington, D.C. to work on Capitol Hill.
After realizing D.C. just wasn’t Texas, she came home to pursue a legal career at St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio, Texas. Her grandmother, Carter Casteel, an accomplished politician and attorney, who inspired her to pursue a law degree.
During her time at St. Mary’s, Morgan was inducted into the Phi Delta Phi Legal Honor Society, selected for induction into the National Order of Barristers for demonstrating exceptional oral and written advocacy skills, awarded the Dean’s Academic Excellence Scholarship, served as the Vice President of the Student Bar Association, and led the National Trial Team as Co-Captain. Morrigan earned her Doctorate of Jurisprudence from St. Mary’s University School of Law, graduating with honors. Since graduating, Morrigan has been admitted to practice in three federal courts and now currently works at the family law firm, Casteel & Casteel P.L.L.C.
Outside of the office, Morgan enjoys spending time with friends and family, playing volleyball, and relaxing at local breweries. She is guided by her philosophy to love God and love others through service by volunteering her time to local organizations, her favorite being Rotary. Since becoming a Rotarian in 2022 (thanks to Joe Castilleja) Morrigan has fulfilled her dreams of learning how to cook (Potato Pancakes and sausage) at the Wurstfest Booth. Morrigan currently serves on the Hill Country Craft Beer Festival Committee. Morrigan looks forward to acquiring the tenure of Fred and Cathy and getting even more involved in Rotary.
