GeoVox President Mark White Former Texas Governer...
White began his public service career in 1966 as an assistant attorney general. In the Insurance, Banking and Securities Division for three years, he handled some of the state's first consumer protection investigations and represented the state in both trial and appellate cases. In 1973, he was appointed secretary of state and was the youngest member ever elected President of the National Association of Secretaries of States in 1977. He became the 46th Attorney General in Texas in 1979.
In 1983 White became governor of the State of Texas and his top priority was to improve the quality of public education for Texas children. His administration was summarized as follows in a 1986 editorial in the Corpus Christi Caller-Times: "He has performed like a big leaguer during four of the roughest years any Texas governor has faced in recent memory. He had to make tough political choices-on education reform and coping with the state's budget problems...and White has been nothing short of courageous in standing behind House Bill 72. Many a politician with less mettle would have buckled under to the pressures generated by the 'no pass, no-play' rule and the protests over teacher testing, but White stood his ground."
White is an attorney and president of GeoVox Security, Inc. and he also serves on the Board of Trustees of Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene. He is a member of the National Association of Attorneys General and the National Governor's Association.
White received a degree in business administration from Baylor University in 1962 and a law degree from Baylor in 1965. He and his wife, Linda Gale, have three children, one daughter in-law, one son-in-law and a new grandson.
