Was Price Daniel Jr. destined for greatness, just like his father? Here at the Price Daniel Plaque, we remember his life and tragic end. The plaque stands as a reminder of Price Daniel Jr., a man who, following in his father’s footsteps, rose to become the Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives. Born into a family steeped in political history, with his father serving as both Governor of Texas and a U.S. Senator, Price Jr. seemed destined for a life in public service. He was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1968 at the young age of 27. Following the Sharpstown scandal, which brought significant changes to the Texas Legislature, Daniel Jr. was unanimously elected Speaker of the House in 1973. He championed ethics reform and transparency during his time as Speaker. However, tragedy struck in 1981 when Price Jr. was shot and killed by his second wife, Vickie, during a tumultuous period in their marriage. Vickie Daniel was acquitted of the murder charges, but the shadow of the event lingered. The Price Daniel Plaque serves not only as a memorial to a promising political career cut short but also as a stark reminder of the complexities of life, even for those in the public eye.
