George Parkhouse

George Marshall Parkhouse (May 13, 1900[1] – August 24, 1967[2]) was a Democratic member of both the Texas House of Representatives and the Texas Senate from District 8 Dallas County.

He did this despite having lost his left arm and left leg in a childhood accident.

He was elected to serve in the Senate in 1950 and held the position from 1951 until his death in 1967 (52nd–60th terms).

"Ike" Harris, a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives, won a special election in 1967 to succeed Parkhouse.
