Besides his own practice in Carrollton, in which he specializes in real estate and construction, Solomons holds affiliation with the Dallas law firm of Bell, Nunnally & Martin, LLP.
[2] In 1994, Solomons was elected to the legislature in a politically favorable year for the Texas Republican Party, as George W. Bush unseated the Democrat Ann W. Richards for governor, U.S.
Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison won her first full term in that position, and future Governor Rick Perry was reelected as the state agriculture commissioner.
Under Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives Joe Straus of San Antonio, he was chairman of the powerful State Affairs and Redistricting committees, respectively, in the 2009 and 2011 sessions.
[4] In 2001, Solomons was instrumental in the passage of the Texas No-Call List Act, which became a model for the National Do Not Call Registry, both measures designed to eliminate the problem of unwanted telephone solicitations.
In 2007, Solomons was co-author of the state constitutional amendment which mandates recorded votes on all final bills passed in the legislature.
He voted for a House-approved amendment offered in 2011 by conservative Representative Wayne Christian to require public colleges and universities to fund student centers that promote family and traditional values.
He co-sponsored the 2011 measure which requires women in Texas who procure abortions first to undergo an ultrasound to be informed of the progress in the development of the child.
[9] In order to spend more time on his law practice, Solomons did not seek reelection to the House in 2012[4] and was succeeded by fellow Republican Ron Simmons of Carrollton.
