Economic Director:
Tim Morton
Tim Morton is the Economic Director of the East Fort Worth Business Association for 2008-2009.
Dr. Morton received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1990 from Texas A&M
University. After a year of practicing dairy medicine, he found himself in
Dallas, where his wife, Becky, was in dental school.
In Dallas, he joined MRSW, Inc., one of veterinary medicine's first corporate
practices and shortly thereafter became the first District Manager for PetSmart
Veterinary Services managing several veterinary practices in Texas and New
Mexico. After five years with MRSW, Dr. Morton knew he needed more tools to
better perform in an expanding veterinary profession. He decided law school
would provide many of those tools and received his law degree from SMU in 1999.
Following law school, Tim, and business partner and wife, Dr. Becky Morton, took
their interest in business and passion for their professions into private
practice. They saw great opportunity in East Fort Worth. They purchased and
merged four East Side veterinary practices, Handley Animal Hospital, Woodhaven
Pet Clinic, Oakhaven Pet Clinic and Zahn Pet Clinic. The result is Family
PetCare. At the same time, Becky started her Dental practice inside the Family
PetCare building.
Dr. Morton currently practices veterinary medicine as well as business and
veterinary law at his office inside the Family PetCare building allowing him to
switch hats throughout the day. Dr. Morton's veterinary interests include
vigilant attention to patient comfort and wellbeing, providing technology,
training and support to Family PetCare's terrific staff and providing
spay/neuter/health services to established rescue groups.
Tim and Becky are big believers in East Fort Worth as a great place to live,
work and play. They moved their family here several years ago and preach the
appeal of East Fort Worth to all who will listen. Becky sold her dental
practice in 2005 to spend more time developing their other business interests
and to dedicate more time to their daughter, Sarah, and son, Joshua. They have a
host of pets including birds, reptiles, dogs and cats as well as being
self-appointed protectors of wildlife, and their habitats, in and around East
Fort Worth.
