Between 1938 and 1961 he was a Congressman from Texas, then a Senator from Texas. Originally he was a school teacher.

In 1927, he taught mostly Mexican children at the Welhausen School in Cotulla, some ninety miles south of San Antonio in La Salle County.

In 1930, he taught in Pearsall High School in Pearsall, Texas, and afterwards took a position as teacher of public speaking at Sam Houston High School in Houston.

In 1930 he also got into politics, but didn't actually run for office until 1937, when he started a campaign for Congress, which was successful.
