Born in Shelbyville, Bedford County, Tennessee, Thomason moved to Gainesville, Texas, with his parents in 1880.[1] He attended public schools, and received a Bachelor of Science degree from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, in 1898.[1] Thomason received a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Texas School of Law in 1900 and was admitted to the bar in 1901, commencing practice in Gainesville.[1] Thomason was the prosecuting attorney of Cooke County, Texas, from 1902 to 1906.[2]

Professional career

Thomason continued to practice law upon his moving to El Paso, in a law firm with Thomas Calloway Lea, Jr., and later J. G. McGrady and Eugene T.

He was confirmed by the United States Senate on June 3, 1947, and received his commission on June 5, 1947. He assumed senior status on June 1, 1963.
