While at Baylor Law School, Mr. Parker completed extensive studies in the area of trial law, receiving special recognition upon graduation for his additional work.  His focused studies were in the areas of criminal and constitutional law.  Additional concentration was in the areas of family, civil and employment law. 

After completing his studies and passing the bar exam, Mr. Parker worked at one of the largest law firms in Central Texas gaining extensive experience.  After a number of years in private practice, Mr. Parker was granted an opportunity to work as a prosecutor in Bell County, Texas.   This opportunity enabled Mr. Parker to gain hands-on experience and insight regarding the intricacies of the criminal justice system from the inside.  As an example, Mr. Parker has now served as lead counsel in the defense or prosecution of over 4,000 criminal cases.

In January 2006, Mr. Parker opened his own law office in Belton, Texas.  He practices both state and federal criminal trial and appellate work, juvenile law, family law, and general civil litigation (including employment discrimination, business disputes, personal injury, and consumer protection).

Mr. Parker is a member of the State Bar of Texas, the Bell County Bar Association, the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, and the Bar Association of the Fifth Federal Circuit.  He is also a member of the Criminal Justice, Family Law, and Juvenile Law sections of the State Bar of Texas.
