Edit Profilelawyer politician member of the Texas Senate
Career
He obtained a law degree from the University of Texas at Austin and served for a time as a judge. The couple had three children, Barry, Blaine, Junior., and Jane. Corbin"s ancestors lived in Virginia and then Mississippi before they relocated to Lampasas County.
In the 1920s, the Corbins moved to Dawson County, where Corbin was reared and lived the first part of his life.
In the state Senate, Corbin represented twenty-four West Texas counties. He was defeated in the 1956 primary by theater owner and future Governor Preston East. Smith.
Barry Corbin said that his father"s defeat for a third term in the Senate soured him on elected office. Barry Corbin’s website says that Kilmer Corbin was at twenty-six the youngest state senator in 1949.
However, this is disputed because Kilmer Corbin was born in 1919 and hence turned thirty in 1949.
Corbin was an alternate delegate to the 1944 Democratic National Convention held in Chicago, which nominated the Franklin Doctorate. Roosevelt/Harry South Truman ticket.
