In 1981, the partnership incorporated and added Gary Traylor, a political science graduate with a penchant for chasing and winning competitive grants for our city and county clientele.  The firm, now known as Barber-Brannon-Traylor, Inc.,  continued to grow to over 35 employees in three Texas offices: Lubbock, Abilene, and Tyler.  In 1985, Terry Brannon purchased the stock of the others, consolidated the focus of the company back to civil engineering and subsequently spun off the Abilene office to its employees.  At the same time Gary Traylor left with his grantsmanship employees and the Lubbock office to pursue grant programs on his own as Gary R. Traylor and Associates.  With the change in ownership came a name change to The C. T. Brannon Corporation also doing business as The Brannon Corporation. 

Soon thereafter, the company settled into a turn-of-the-century farmhouse which had been remodeled into a small castle complete with turret in the heart of the azalea district in Tyler, Texas.  Since 1986, all of the engineering of The Brannon Corporation has come out of this one office.

And we've expanded the castle! Take a look!
