David graduated from Jeff Davis High School and went on to serve his country in the United States Navy during peace time, and then served the city of Houston for twenty-two years as a patrolman with the Houston Police Department, retiring in 1982. He operated his own private business for twenty years as a Civil process server in and around Harris County.
