Judge Thomas C. Ferguson, a leading citizen and statesman of Burnet County, held many honorable positions in legal and civic areas in Burnet as well as in the State of Texas. He moved to Burnet as a young boy and graduated from Burnet High School in 1921. Ferguson went on to obtain his license to practice law. He became one of the most successful and influential citizens in the community. He unselfishly dedicated his life to the betterment of society.

His alma mater, Burnet High School, developed a criminal justice program in the nineties in order to provide upper level academic courses to those interested in a future in the criminal justice field. After his death, students of BHS obtained his personal law library including many historical documents and photos, law texts, and his personal novels. Working towards the preservation of his history, the students maintain the library and materials as part of their study. The following pages are merely a summary of the many interesting materials available from his library.
