About David
Professional History:
David R. Langston is a native of Lubbock, Texas. After graduating from Monterey High School in 1971, he left Lubbock to attend the American University in Washington, D.C. While there, Mr. Langston worked on the staff of Congressman George Mahon as his agricultural assistant focusing primarily on farm legislation and policy. His senior thesis on American agricultural policy earned him an honors degree from the American University School of Government and Public Administration in 1974. After completing his undergraduate degree, David continued his work with Congressman Mahon on Capitol Hill, and began attending evening classes at the Georgetown University Law Center. He obtained his law degree from Georgetown in 1979.
After obtaining his law degree, David returned to West Texas, became a member of the State Bar of Texas, and began his law practice with the Lubbock law firm of McWhorter, Cobb & Johnson.
Throughout his legal career David's work has focused primarily in the areas of banking, commercial litigation and bankruptcy reorganizations. Shortly after his return to Lubbock, he was selected by the Department of Justice to serve as a member of the Panel of Chapter 7 Trustees for the Bankruptcy Courts of the Northern District of Texas, and from 1980 to 1995 he was appointed by the Federal courts to administer bankruptcy estates where he liquidated millions of dollars of assets and distributed the funds to creditors. During the difficult financial times existing in the Farm Belt during the 80's, David represented farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses when their notes with failed banks were turned over to government agencies for foreclosure. He successfully reorganized farms and other businesses in Texas, New Mexico and Nebraska, and in 1990 authored an article for the Texas Tech Law Review entitled, A Practical Guide to the Use of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in Large Farm and Ranch Reorganizations.
David served as the Mayor of the City of Lubbock, Texas, from 1992 to 1996. Following his stint as Mayor, Langston resumed the active practice of law, and in 1997 he merged his practice with the Amarillo firm of Mullin Hoard & Brown, and became the Managing Partner of its Lubbock office. Currently, he regularly represents such large commercial corporations as City Bank, Texas, Nexstar Broadcasting Corporation, and the Lubbock Reese Redevelopment Authority. He remains active in the practice of bankruptcy law where he often represents creditors' committees as well as individuals and businesses in complex reorganization cases.
Personal Information:
Mr. Langston is married to the former Ronda Craig of Roosevelt, Texas, and is the father of four children, John David, 30, Mary Kathryn, 27, Evan Craig, 18, and William Lee, 13.
He is an active member of St. John's United Methodist Church, where he has taught several Sunday school classes and served in numerous leadership capacities.
