James Matlock is working for the interests of all Texans. He is dedicated to providing sustainable energy solutions in the oil and gas industry. His mission is to ensure energy security while promoting environmental responsibility.

James Matlock proudly represents the sixth generation of Texans. Born in Fort Worth and adopted at birth, he grew up in a small town in East Texas. As a dedicated United States Marine, James was part of the Marine Corps SecurityForces Company, serving his country honorably. After completing his service in 1995, he returned to his roots in East Texas.
James has taken on the role of chaplain for both the VFW and the Texas State Guard, showcasing his commitment to God and his community. In 2005, he embarked on a career in the oil and gas industry. Now, he is running to become your next commissioner for the Railroad Commission of Texas, bringing the values of small-town life to Austin to advocate for your interests.
A former Marine, James is not a politician but has 18 years experience in oil and gas. He is very concerned about infrastructure vulnerability, China, Blackrock, oil, gas, coal, pipelines, water quality, waste, mismanagement and orphan wells.

This is a tell-all political memoir.
Politics is dirty.
Texas politics is dirtier.
When you’re running for control over the oil and gas industry — the lifeblood of Texas — it gets downright messy.
In Qualified by Obedience, James Matlock pulls no punches. A sixth-generation Texan, Marine veteran, and oilfield consultant, Matlock takes you inside his unlikely journey from a freezing bar ditch to shaking the Texas establishment with over 517,000 votes.
He exposes:
• How Texas families were robbed to support the communist government through Chinese ownership of our mineral rights
• The deadly failures of Winter Storm Uri
• The $2 million “donation” with strings attached that he turned down
• The backroom deals and betrayal that turned him into the most hated man in Austin
This isn’t another polished political book. This is raw truth from a man who took the oath on the yellow footprints at MCRD San Diego and actually meant it.
Now leading the Texans First Americans First movement, James Matlock delivers a powerful message: God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the obedient.
If you’re tired of the games, the lies, and the sell-outs — this book is for you.
