About

I grew up in West Tennessee on a farm, graduated from a private junior college nearby, got my first real job in Dayton, Ohio, while attending Miami University (Ohio) and University of Dayton (Ohio), and during my second real job in Cookeville, Tennessee, graduated from Tennessee Tech University with B.S. (History and English) and an M.A. (History) degrees.  My third real job was in Abilene, Texas, and from there went to University of Texas Law School and got my Juris Doctor (Law) in 1973.  I returned to Abilene, Texas, and practiced law in a law firm for five years before becoming General Counsel for LaJet, Inc., with executive offices in Abilene and Houston, Texas, and a refinery on the West bank of the Mississippi in St. James Parish, Louisiana.  I worked for LaJet, Inc. for almost seven years until the company ceased operations and then worked for one client for the next two and one-half years funding real estate transactions in the Fort Worth - Dallas, Texas metropolitan area.  In 1986 I joined the predecessor to my current law firm as a partner and remain a partner in Whitaker Chalk Swindle & Schwartz, PLLC, Fort Worth, Texas.  My wife and I have two adult children and two grandchildren, all of whom live in Texas.

I had the honor and pleasure of using John Allen Chalk as a lawyer when I went into the oil business in the early 1980's and then from 2000 through 2007 I practiced with him as one of his law partners. There is no lawyer with more integrity than John Allen. We tried complex cases together in civil courts , arbitrated complex commercial cases and mediated cases together. He was a mentor and leader in our law firm to every lawyer, especially the trial lawyers. He has earned the highest respect and trust of the Judges in Ft. Worth and has been appointed by them to serve as a receiver in some of the most difficult fiduciary roles a lawyer can be asked to perform. I quit the active practice of law and returned to the oil and gas industry in October of 2007 to start several oil and gas related entities. I have used and continue to use John Allen regarding a myriad of commercial contracts, including disputes and employment issues and contracts. I and other lawyers have the utmost trust and confidence in and use John Allen Chalk as our lawyer. He is the lawyer's lawyer!

I had the honor and pleasure of using John Allen Chalk as a lawyer when I went into the oil business in the early 1980's and then from 2000 through 2007 I practiced with him as one of his law partners. There is no lawyer with more integrity than John Allen. We tried complex cases together in civil courts , arbitrated complex commercial cases and mediated cases together. He was a mentor and leader in our law firm to every lawyer, especially the trial lawyers. He has earned the highest respect and trust of the Judges in Ft. Worth and has been appointed by them to serve as a receiver in some of the most difficult fiduciary roles a lawyer can be asked to perform. I quit the active practice of law and returned to the oil and gas industry in October of 2007 to start several oil and gas related entities. I have used and continue to use John Allen regarding a myriad of commercial contracts, including disputes and employment issues and contracts. I and other lawyers have the utmost trust and confidence in and use John Allen Chalk as our lawyer. He is the lawyer's lawyer!
