He is included in a list of attorneys that practiced in Erath County, and he is referred to in that list as a District Attorney. (Perry, H. G., Grand Ol' Erath The Saga of a Texas West Cross Timbers County, 1974-Vol. I, p. 193 & 224.) (Was this the same as County Attorney?) In 1908 he moved to Aspermount after being elected the County Attorney of Stonewall Co . TX. He served two terms (four years) in that office. In 1913, he was an attorney in Stanton. He practiced at Olney, Young Co., TX after August 1923. His office was located in the First National Bank Building there.
