STUBBS, JAMES B.
James B. Stubbs has been a member of the Galveston bar for over thirty-five years. is president of the Galveston County Bar Association, and in 1902 was president of the Texas State Bar Association. His practice in commercial, corporation and admiralty law is one of the best in the South. Aside from his success as a lawyer, he is a man of polished culture, is representative of the best ideals of Southern society, and his popularity both at the bar and among citizens generally makes him a prominent figure in the affairs of city and state.
He was born at Montgomery, Alabama, August 28, 1850. His father, Theodore B., also a native of Montgomery, was colonel of a Texas regiment in the Confederate army and in civil life was a merchant, who died March 26, 1896.

B. from the law department of Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Virginia, Mr. Stubbs was admitted to the bar at Galveston in 1872. He had come to Texas with his father when three years old, so that he is practically a lifelong resident of Galveston. From the standpoint of continuous practice he is one of the oldest members of the bar of the city and county of Galveston.
He has been more or less actively identified with political affairs. He was elected state senator in 1881, and for the past five years has been chairman of the Democratic County Executive committee and is also a member of the Democratic state executive committee. He was counsel for the city of Galveston from 1882 to 1885 and again from 1899 to 1901.

M., of Galveston, and of El Mina Temple of the Mystic Shrine of Galveston. He is a member of Oleander Lodge, No. 5, K. of P.
