Gary Wayne Elkins (born March 15, 1955), is a businessman from Houston, Texas, who is a Republican former member of the Texas House of Representatives.
Elkins graduated in 1974 from Bellaire High School in the Bellaire section of Houston.
He subsequently earned a Bachelor of Science in Practical Theology from the private Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxachachie in Ellis County in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
He has worked in real estate and since 1985 has owned Personal Credit Corporation, which operates a dozen payday-lending locations in Houston.
He is a long-term legislative opponent of attempts to regulate his own industry.
From 1995, with the advent of the George W. Bush gubernatorial administration, until 2019, Elkins represented District 135 in Harris County.
Elkins won his eleventh term in the state House in the general election held on November 4, 2014, when he defeated Democrat Moiz A. Abbas of Houston.
Elkins and his wife, the former Julie Ann Brown, have four children, Crystal Boyd, Jeremy Ross Elkins, and Grace and Rachael Elkins, and as of 2014, four grandchildren.
The couple resides in the Jersey Village section of Houston.
He is a member of the Faith Assembly of God Church in Houston.
He won his twelfth term on November 8, 2016, with 26,685 votes (47.7 percent).
He was unseated in his bid for a thirteenth term by Democrat Jon Rosenthal, who polled 28,430 votes (50.8 percent).
Another 866 votes (1.5 percent) went to the Libertarian Party candidate, Paul Bilyeu.
Elkins won his twelfth term in the state House in the general election held on November 8, 2016.
With 32,682 votes (54.9 percent), he defeated Democrat Jesse A. Ybanez, who drew 26,905 (45.2 percent).
In 2017, Representative Elkins introduced HB 3418, which would make it more difficult for local governments to designate historic landmarks.
According to the historic preservation group, Preservation Texas, Inc., the legislation would make it easier for the owners of previously-designated landmarks to uproot those facilities.
It would limit public input in the zoning process and impede local governments in the passage of zoning regulations.
Texas municipalities have long depended on zoning ordinances as well as historic resource surveys, and tax incentives to assist in the preservation of historic landmarks.
The bill is pending before the House Urban Affairs Committee.
One of Elkins's attempts to defeat payday loan industry regulation, in which fellow Representative Vicki Truitt pointed out his conflict of interest in being opposed to it while owning several payday loans himself, was featured in an episode 14, season 1, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver segment on payday loans.
