Analysis
Phillips has received four legislative continuances to delay legal cases while the Legislature is in session: one in 2007, one in 2008 and two in 2011. In the 2011 cases, his client was his sister, who had been cited for an expired license plate. Phillips called the issue a family matter.
He has served on the boards of a hospital, a volunteer health clinic and the Grayson County Salvation Army.
