Brandt grew up in Bellaire, Texas, a small city in southwest Houston. After graduating from Bellaire High School in 1997, he attended Texas Tech University, where in 2001 he obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. Brandt then attended the Texas Tech University School of Law, graduating in December 2003 with his Doctor of Jurisprudence. Brandt passed the Texas bar exam on his 25th birthday in May 2004 and was then admitted to the State Bar of Texas. Brandt is licensed to practice in all Texas state courts and the United States District Courts for the Northern and Eastern Districts of Texas.

Upon his admission to the bar, the Gregg County District Attorney’s Office immediately hired Brandt and he moved to Longview.

As an assistant D.A., Brandt handled all aspects of criminal prosecution in cases ranging from misdemeanor offenses such as theft, assault-family violence, and DWI, to all levels of felony offenses such as forgery, possession and delivery of controlled substances, burglary, robbery, felony DWI, intoxication assault, aggravated assault, sexual assault, intoxication manslaughter and murder.
