He co-sponsored the tuition revenue bond bill and passed legislation to give statutory existence to the Texas Coastal Ocean Observation Network (TCOON), and authored a bill to help coastal ports and waterways. 

Born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma in 1953, Todd earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Kansas in 1975 and his J.D. from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. He has lived in the Corpus Christi area for almost 30 years where he met and married his wife, the former Alexis Taylor.
