After graduating from law school, David began his legal career as a law clerk to United States District Judge Sam R. Cummings, who presided over the Lubbock, Abilene, and San Angelo Divisions of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

He regularly litigates and tries cases involving employment matters, and questions of constitutional law.

​

David has tried cases to juries in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and state courts across East Texas. David has also served as lead counsel of record in three cases before the United States Supreme Court, and as lead counsel of record in approximately 23 appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. David has had the privilege of arguing three cases before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, one of which was argued en banc.

​

David has served on the boards of directors of UT Health Northeast, the East Texas Symphony Orchestra, Marvin United Methodist Church, the Literacy Council of Tyler, the Alzheimer’s Alliance of Smith County, Children’s Advocacy Center of East Texas, and CASA for Kids of East Texas.
