David Lee Farabee (born February 5, 1964) is a Democratic former member of the Texas House of Representatives from District 69 (Wichita and Archer counties). His father, Ray Farabee, was an attorney in Austin, Texas, and a Democratic former state senator for the Wichita Falls and West Texas area, having served from 1975 to 1988.
Farabee is an Eagle Scout, an accomplishment which eluded his father. He graduated from Wichita Falls High School and then obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from Midwestern State University there. He and his wife, the former Terri Nan Salmon, have three children, Worth, Nancy, and Russell R. Farabee. He is active in the United Methodist Church. He is a former president of the Wichita Falls Optimist Club.
His late mother, Helen J. Farabee, is the namesake of the state mental health facility in Wichita Falls, Graham, and Quanah, Texas. The senior Farabee left the state Senate after thirteen years to become general counsel for the University of Texas System. Farabee's father-in-law, Bill Presson, is a Republican commissioner in Wichita County. When Democratic state legislators fled to Ardmore, Oklahoma in 2003 to prevent a House quorum regarding congressional redistricting, many of Farabee's constituents were said to have been particularly aware for perhaps the first time that he is a Democrat.
