Yarbrough was elected as the county and district attorney of Lamb County. He was reelected and served five terms for a total of 20 years in that office. While serving as County and District Attorney, he prosecuted sex offenders, capital murderers and DWI cases.
In 2012, Yarbrough suffered from burnout and retired from the County and District Attorney’s office. He then went on to wrote a book called, “Suffer from Burnout? Give ‘Em the F.I.N.G.E.R!” and became a motivational speaker, speaking about burnout. His book has sold many copies and has helped people in all types of career fields. Burnout does not discriminate and can affect anyone, regardless of their field.
