About the Author

A sixth-generation Texan, John Powers was born in Fort Worth, and earned baccalaureate and law degrees at the University of Texas at Austin.  The last two decades of his thirty-five year legal career were spent as a judge on the Texas Court of Appeals.  He retired in 2003 and resides in Austin with his wife, Deborah.  After twenty-two years in the U. S. Naval Reserve, he retired in 1994 in the grade of captain.  In addition to his numerous legal writings, he co-authored, with Deborah, Texas Painters, Sculptors, and Graphic Artists:  A Biographical Dictionary of Artists in Texas before 1942 (2000).
