Jim Dick Lovett made a name for himself representing defendants in drunken-driving cases, but he eventually decided he was getting typecast. So he branched out. The Clarksville lawyer took on other types of criminal cases, tackled complex civil litigation and began writing law books. Then in 1996, he won election to the 6th District Court and became a traveling judge, hearing cases in three counties in East Texas.
Although it seems as though Lovett likes to mix it up, he’s really more of a stay-put kind of guy, especially when it comes to where he lives. He was born in Clarksville, a fourth-generation resident of Red River County, and spent most of his childhood there. He and his wife raised their four children in Clarksville, and he takes an active role in the community of 3,500 residents and is a leader in preserving the area’s frontier heritage.
