It's her 50th birthday.
She recently passed the bar.
She is a "classic Texan woman", born and raised. She wears the gear, she was Rodeo Queen, she two steps and shit, and she goes dove hunting with her oldest and dearest girlfriends once a year.
Probably like $100 is our limit. A nice bottle of champagne will do, but I'd like to get her something fun. She's a super person.

In her town is there a place for you to get her a gift certificate for Rodeo Lessons or Line Dancing Lessons or a day at a Ranch. Not sure how much that would cost, but even money towards those activities may be up her alley.

Does she enjoy legal thrillers? You could give her a set of John Grisham novels. There is a style of book end called a gallows bracket, so you could maybe also throw in a set of those, if you think she'd get the joke.
And maybe finding something nifty to fill each side (that could be taken out). Like, you could order one of those mini-gallows and put it on one side and maybe a mini statue of Lady Justice on the other.
Another idea is to do a framed series of prints. My BIL is a chiropractor, I got him a set of three different classic anatomy prints on vintage book pages, and framed them. He LOVED it. You could start with something like this and find two more justice-or-freedom themed ones.
