Brooks Frederick Landgraf (born March 15, 1981) is an attorney and rancher in his native Odessa, Texas, who is a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives for District 81, which encompasses Ector, Andrews, Ward and Winkler counties. In January 2015, he succeeded the three-term Republican Tryon D. Lewis, who did not seek re-nomination in the primary election held on March 4, 2014.
Landgraf is descended from a five-generation pioneer ranching family, which still owns and operates a ranch near Marathon in Brewster County in West Texas. On September 28, 2013, he married Shelby Levins, news anchor at KMID, the ABC in Midland, Texas. Though she has lived all over the world, her father's family is from Andrews, Texas. The two wed in a ceremony held at the family's Brooks Ranch, named for his maternal grandparents, Conoly and Peggy Brooks.
In 1999, Landgraf graduated from Permian High School in Odessa. In 2003, he completed his undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University in College Station, where he was a member of the United States Army Corps of Cadets and the Student Senate, serving as Speaker of the Senate. In 2008, Landgraf earned his Juris Doctor degree from St. Mary's University School of Law in San Antonio, where he was the editor-in-chief of the St. Mary's Law Review.
