Criminal Defense
Mr. Farris serves as Of Counsel with Lively & Associates. After graduating from Arlington Heights High School in 1958, he earned both his B. A. and Juris Doctor degrees from Baylor University. David enjoyed an active private practice in Tarrant County for over twenty years prior to his election to the Second Court of Appeals in Fort Worth. While in private practice he tried civil and criminal cases before juries in Tarrant and several other Texas Counties and argued cases before many of the Texas Courts of Appeals, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and the Texas Supreme Court. During his service on the Second Court of Appeals, he led the Court in the number of opinions written every year. After leaving the Second Court in 1994, he served as a visiting judge on several Trial Courts throughout North and Northeast Texas and on seven of the fourteen Texas Courts of Appeals. Since retiring from the judiciary, David has concentrated on his active Appellate practice. He served as a mediator with Burdin Mediations from 1995-2003. Mr. Farris is Civil Appellate Law Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. As a retired justice, he brings years of experience and knowledge that make him uniquely qualified to assist clients in Alternative Dispute Resolution.
