Jonathan Spence Stickland (born September 4, 1983) is a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives from District 92, who encompasses a portion of Tarrant County in suburban Fort Worth. He was re-elected in 2016.
In 1988, Stickland's parents moved the family from his native Plano in Collin County to Hurst in Tarrant County, where he attended W. A. Porter Elementary School and Smithfield Middle School. He enrolled for his freshman year at Richland High School and then for two years at the newly opened Birdville High School of the Birdville Independent School District, both in North Richland Hills in Tarrant County. Stickland ended up leaving high school between his junior and senior year and obtained his G.E.D.
Stickland entered the community college, Tarrant County College, and also Parkland College, in which he studied sales and marketing.
After college study, Stickland went to work in the pest-control business. He took a full-time sales position with Truly Nolen Pest Control and then as manager of residential accounts for Prime Pest Management, both in Fort Worth. He obtained a pest control state technician license and launched his own consulting business, which he still operates.
Stickland and his wife, Krissy, met in church. The Sticklands have two daughters, Andie and Carlie.
