William Robert Smith

William Robert Smith

William Robert Smith (August 18 1863 – August 16 1924) was a United States representative from Texas and a United States federal judge.

Smith was born in Smith County, Texas. He graduated from the Sam Houston Normal Institute in Huntsville, Texas in 1883. Two years later, he was admitted to the Texas bar and began the practice of law in Tyler, Texas. He moved to Colorado, Texas in 1888, where he continued to practice law. In 1897, he became a judge of the 32nd Judicial District of Texas. In 1903, he resigned as judge to become a United States representative for Texas and served from March 4, 1903 to March 4, 1917.

In 1916, Smith was defeated for renomination to his seat. He moved to El Paso, Texas in October and resumed the practice of law. This practice was cut short when President Woodrow Wilson nominated Smith to a newly created seat in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. Smith was confirmed and received his commission on April 12, 1917 and served until his death in El Paso.
