WACO – Larry A. Phillips of Sherman has received the Texas Farm Bureau Friends of Agriculture Fund (AGFUND) endorsement for State House District 62, vacated recently by Rep. Ron Clark, who was appointed to a federal judgeship. A special election for the open seat will be held Tuesday, Jan. 7.
Phillips, a Republican, practices law with the Sherman law firm of Siebman, Reynolds & Burg, where he focuses primarily on highly complex intellectual property cases for Fortune 500 companies. He also assists the Grayson County Attorney’s Office as a special prosecutor for juvenile cases.
“Texans need bright young leaders like Larry Phillips to represent their interests in Austin,” said Texas Farm Bureau and AGFUND President Kenneth Dierschke. “Phillips is in-tune with both rural and urban constituents of District 62.”
Phillips was born in Houston in 1966 and is a fifth-generation Texan. He attended public schools in Wichita Falls and Austin, graduating from Crockett High School.
He worked his way through Baylor University, obtaining his BBA in Real Estate/Finance in 1988. He then attended law school at the University of Houston and was licensed to practice law in 1990. Phillips is active in his community, serving on the board of directors and as president of the Grayson Crisis Pregnancy Center, the board of directors of Sherman Young Life, the board of the non-profit Grayson Volunteer Clinic, and the Texoma Valley District of the Boy Scouts of America. He is also active in the Sherman Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Sherman Council, and the Sherman Kiwanis Club.
Phillips and his wife, Robin, have three children.
