"For a time he practiced at Jefferson and in 1877 established himself at Daingerfield, where he was active in the law and politics until he removed to Cleburne. During the twenty-one years of his residence at Daingerfield, Mr. Moore achieved more than a local reputation in his profession and in the public life of East Texas. He was elected flotorial representative for the counties of Morris, Titus, and Red River to the Twenty-fourth Legislature. He was the only democrat sent by that region to the Legislature that year, all the other members being chosen as populists." Describes legislative activities.
