He attended Texas Tech for one semester in the only building on campus at the time. He graduated from Draughans' Business College and worked in his father's law office as a secretary for a while. In September of 1928, he and his brother Sam went to Austin where he had a job in the State Capital. When the administration changed, he lost his job at the Capitol and the brothers returned to Ralls where they worked at the Ralls Banner newspaper for a while. Mike met Mildred Robbins, a teacher in the local school while in Ralls. The story Mike tells is that he was sitting in the barber's chair and saw Mildred walking down the street. He asked the barber who she was and said, "That's the girl I am going to marry." They married
on June 27, 1936. They lived in Tyler and then in Athens for a while where Mike worked as a stenographer. In 1938 he got a leter from Sam that said he had a job in Ralls and would send money to help if Mike would go back to law school. Mildred wouldn't let him go without her so they lived in a one room apartment in Austin. She found work at the Texas Unemployment Commission. Sam joined them a year later and Mildred worked while both boys went to school. In 1940 Mildred had to quit her job due to the birth of a daughter, Mary Helen, by that time, Sam had graduated. Mildred says they had some money saved, Sam helped some and they couldn't spend much because they didn't have a car and couldn't go anywhere. Even so, they remember the friends they made and this period as one of the highlights of their lives together. Mike finished the University of Texas Law school in 1940 and was admitted to the Texas State Bar in 1941 after they had moved back to Ralls. Mike worked for Selective Service as a clerk of the Local Board until appointed by the State as a Clerical Audit Supervisor. In 1943, although exempt from the draft, he joined his two brothers in volunteering for military service in World War II. He served in the European theater, for three years, with the 283rd Combat Engineer Battalion. He saw duty in England, France and Germany. He came home with a multitude of stories to tell to his children and later his grandchildren. A son, Lloyd A. Wicks, III (Michael) was born exactly nine months after Mike returned. He and Mildred bought a house at 1421 Tilford in Ralls which is still their home. When Mike returned home on March 29, 1946 he discovered that he had been appointed to complete the term as County Attorney of Crosby County. At that time there were numerous bootleggers and other problems in the county. Despite the offer of bribes, threats on his life and threats to his family, Mike enlisted the help of the Texas Rangers and he and the local sheriff arrested enough of the lawless element that most of the rest moved out of the county. He served as County Attorney for ten years. Mike went into private law practice, in Ralls, with his father, Lloyd A. Wicks, Sr. They served as attorneys for the White River Municipal Water District during its formation. Hammering out contracts between the four member cities and securing land for the lake site.
