As a lifelong conservative leader previously serving as State Representative for Parker and Wise Counties, Senator Phil King was elected in November 2022 to represent the citizens of Senate District 10 in the Texas Legislature. A sprawling district with a mixture of urban, suburban, and rural interests across eight counties, SD 10 is composed of Brown, Callahan, Johnson, Palo Pinto, Shackelford, Stephens, and portions of Parker and Tarrant Counties.

Phil was a police officer in Fort Worth for 15 years and continues to serve in the Texas State Guard. He is an attorney and businessman.

Throughout his legislative service, Senator King has earned a reputation as a principle-driven conservative who consistently provides key leadership in passing some of Texas’ most sweeping public policy legislation.

Senator King serves as Chairman of both the Senate Select Committee on Religious Liberty and the Senate Select Committee on Homeland and Border Security, as well as Vice Chairman of the Business & Commerce Committee. Additionally, he advocates for conservative priorities as a member of the following Senate committees: Criminal Justice, Education, Finance, Higher Education, Local Government, and Transportation. During the special legislative sessions in 2025, Senator King was tapped by Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick to chair the Senate Special Committee on Congressional Redistricting. This year, the lieutenant governor appointed him to serve on both the Texas Judicial Council and the Texas Indigent Defense Commission Governing Board.

Since his election to the Texas Senate, Senator King has been a leader in passing a broad conservative agenda which strengthens border security, protects taxpayers, supports law enforcement and community safety, and prepares our state for future growth. He has long championed the sanctity of life, religious liberty, second amendment freedoms, and a strong Texas relationship with Israel.

Phil serves on the National Board of Directors for the American Legislative Exchange Council and was the 2015 National Chair. He is also the immediate past Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Texas Conservative Coalition Research Institute.

King resides in Weatherford where he and his family have been active members of Trinity Bible Church since 1984. Phil and his wife Terry are the proud parents of six children and are blessed with eleven granddaughters and seven grandsons. Phil earned his B.A. and M.B.A. from Dallas Baptist University and a law degree from Texas A&M University School of Law (formerly known as Texas Wesleyan University School of Law).
