Families around the world will tune into the Super Bowl on Sunday, February – if not for the football, for the halftime show and over-the-top commercials.
If they pay attention, San Antonio may spot a well-known face on their television screens. One of the city’s most prominent lawyers, Thomas J. Henry, is expected to air an advertisement during the roughly 3.5-hour competition. The businessman’s local office is based at 5711 University Heights Boulevard.
Author and social media influencer Joshua Forbes shared an exclusive look at the segment in a post shared on Saturday, January 31. In the clip, a voice can be heard telling Forbes and other participants that they are on the Jumbotron. Dressed in the lawyer’s logo and red and white attire, they react with excited screams and point at a screen projector.
“Had a Great time doing the TJH Superbowl Commercial this week in OKC,” Forbes said in a Facebook post. “This will only be aired in TX but I got a couple of behind the scene clips for ya!”
Though Forbes and Thomas J. Henry Law could not immediately be reached for comment, it wouldn’t be the first time the personal injury attorney rides out a taste of fame. In 2023, production company Bennet Creative produced a Super Bowl ad for the Texan, instilling it with Marvel-esqued them graphics and special effects.
Over the past decade, the San Antonio native has also made headlines for his extravagant parties – some of which weren’t even celebrating him.
In 2016, Henry paid for a custom pavilion to be built on the Six Flags Fiesta Texas property for his daughter Maya Henry’s quinceañera, then booked Nick Jonas and Pitbull as the night’s talent. It reportedly cost him just under a million dollars. Maya went on to share a year-long romance with the late singer Liam Payne, who was a beloved member of the band One Direction, which furthered the family’s media attention. The now 25-year-old released her first novel, Looking Forward, in May 2024.
Meanwhile, just last month, Thomas hosted an engagement celebration that featured performances by Marc Anthony, Enrique Iglesias, and Ricky Martin, per the San Antonio Express-News. There were also ice sculptures, members from the Philharmonic Orchestra of Puerto Rico, and an Earth Harp, which, in true Henry fashion, is the longest-stringed instrument in the world.
Henry, despite being born in Germany and raised in Kansas, has owned a residence in the Alamo City. In 2023, he sold his $7.5M mansion to NBA star Jordan Clarkson, MySA previously reported.
