While in Martin County, Rob combined his duties as County Attorney with a private practice. In 1983, Rob was elected by his fellow prosecutors as a member of the board of directors of the Texas District and County Attorneys Association, a position he held from 1984-1986.

    In 1985, Rob accepted an appointment as First Assistant District Attorney for the 118th Judicial District. As First Assistant DA, Rob prosecuted governmental corruption, obtaining a conviction against a county employee on over 20 counts of misapplication of fiduciary property. Rob also handled appeals for the DA's office, with no conviction ever being reversed.
