Early life, education, and career

He currently serves as President and Chief Operating Officer of The Parking REIT, a real estate investment trust where he works to acquire income-producing parking assets. Previously he was an executive with a parking company; before that, a natural gas fueling company.

On April 23, 2021, Huberty was arrested for driving under the influence in Montgomery County, after crashing his vehicle into another car and failing a sobriety test.[5] He later bonded out after the arrest and on the following day released an apology and said he would seek treatment for alcohol addiction.[6]

During the 86th legislative Session, saw Huberty serve his second term as Chairman of the House Committee on Public Education[8] as well as serving on the House Committee on County Affairs.[9] He authored 12 bills which were signed by the Governor[9] including one of the most transformative Texas education bills in recent history[10] and has been recognized for his legislative efforts by the Texas Association of Community Schools, Education in Action, Texas Public Interest Group, Environment Texas, The Texas Realtors, and others.[11][12][13]

In 2016, Huberty was challenged in the Republican primary by Mitchell Bosworth. Huberty eventually defeated Bosworth, 78% to 22%. Huberty defeated challengers from the Libertarian Party and Green Party in the 2016 General Election, taking 82% of the vote.[14]
