Will Ford Hartnett (born June 3, 1956) is an attorney in Dallas, Texas, who was from 1993 to 2013 a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives from District 114 in Dallas County. In an earlier term from 1991 to 1993, he represented District 102, also in Dallas County, but he was switched to District 114 through redistricting after the 1990 U.S. census.
Hartnett was born in 1956 in Austin, Texas, where his father, James J. Hartnett, Sr., was attending the University of Texas School of Law. The family settled in Dallas, where Hartnett in 1974 graduated as the valedictorian of the Cistercian Preparatory School in Irving in Dallas County. In 1978, he obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1981, he earned his Juris Doctor degree from the UT Law School. Admitted that same year to the state bar of Texas, Hartnett entered into the practice of law with his father, a native of Nebraska who came to Texas for law school in the early 1950s. In 1986, Hartnett gained certification in Probate Law and Estate Planning. Since 1988, he has been a partner in the family-owned Hartnett Law Firm in Dallas.
