Twyla was born in Houston on November 1, 1962 and graduated from Regan High School (1980), the University of Houston (1984) and Texas Tech School of Law (1987). A long time Houston Heights resident, Twyla started her early career working at Davis Hardware, the business owned by her family. Later, she founded her own law practice eventually transitioning into information technology, holding managerial positions in IT at Rice University and MD Anderson Cancer center. As an enthusiastic scrapbook maker, crafter, card maker and player of board games, Twyla was active in several groups around town and loved participating in events. She was a world traveler, visiting over 30 countries including Russia, China, Egypt and traveling above the Arctic Circle. But most of all, Twyla loved her family.
