2017 Afternoon Tea Honoree: State Representative Kevin Roberts
Texas State Representative for District 126
​
Kevin Roberts was sworn in as the State Representative for House District 126 on January 10, 2017. Roberts, a native Texan, was raised by his grandparents in Amarillo. As a 14-year-old, he got his first job delivering prescriptions for a local retail drugstore, where he learned the importance of integrity, commitment, and hard work. He worked to pay his own way through Texas Tech University and became the first college graduate in his family.

Representative Roberts has spent the majority of his career in executive management and leadership roles. Using his expertise in strategic planning, organizational design, and financial and organizational management, Roberts excels in growing small businesses into nationwide enterprises. Through his ability to make tough decisions, he keeps businesses financially stable while fostering their rapid growth. Since 2002, he has worked as Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of The Lanier Law Firm, where he guided the expansion of the firm into Los Angeles and New York.

For the 85th Legislative Session, Representative Roberts was named to the House Committee on Appropriations, the House Committee on County Affairs, and the House Select Committee on Texas Ports, Innovation & Infrastructure. Additionally, he serves on the Appropriations Subcommittees on Article II (Healthcare) and Budget Transparency & Reform.
