He became a judge in that district.〔Texas State Handbook Online. 〕
The 1850 census has Davis living on Grant Street in downtown Laredo, the seat of Webb County. Davis, three carpenters, and a laborer were residing, apparently in a boarding house, with Tomasa Benavides and her children when the census was taken that year.〔Odie Arambula, "Young lawyer Davis had big local role," ''Laredo Morning Times'', May 6, 2012, p. 17A〕 He subsequently maintained a ranch in Webb County and conducted his law practice in Laredo. For a time he was a judge of the state 29th Judicial District.〔Odie Arambula, ''Visiting the Past'' column, "Radical Republican Davis had support", ''Laredo Morning Times'', 20 May 2012, p. 15A〕
