Jack Martin was born in Taylor, Texas and grew up in San Antonio, Texas. He attended Texas State University (then known as Southwest Texas State University), where he studied political science. While at the Southwest Texas State, he became involved with the school's student senate. He later became chairman of the student senate and met former President Lyndon B. Johnson, a prominent alumnus of the school, through that office.
Martin began serving as an assistant sergeant at arms at the Texas Capitol while studying at Southwest Texas State. Shortly thereafter, two years following his meeting Johnson, a Johnson aide introduced Martin to then-United States Senator Lloyd Bentsen. Martin left school to take a job as travel aide during Bentsen's campaign for the 1976 Democratic presidential nomination.
