The Batton and Harlin Families

The Batton Family

Robert and Linda Batton are pictured  with their children and grandchildren and are delighted that their entire family calls Fort Worth home. Robert and Linda grew up in small central Texas towns and came to the metroplex for college. Robert attending TCU and Linda UTA. After receiving his BBA and MBA from TCU and his DDS from Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, they returned to Fort Worth where Robert began his dental practice. As Fort Worth prospered and grew so had the dental practice, necessitating the wonderful addition of Dr. Justin Harlin in 2005. Dr. Batton and Dr. Harlin work seamlessly together in that they both have excellence as standard of care for each patient they see, respect for the individual and concern for what is best for that patient, not just for the today but for the long term. They will welcome their third dental partner in May.

Bob and Linda realize what a blessing it is to have both children, their mates and six grandchildren in Forth Worth. John Batton and his wife Elizabeth are pictured here with their children, Rob, Lauren, and Katie. John is the Chief Investment Officer for Trailwind Advisors. Mary Batton Kendall and Husband TJ are pictured with their children, Jackson and Riley (newborn Hudson is not pictured.) TJ is New Car Sales Manager for Sewell Infinity. While the mountains and the beaches call to all that Batton family for pursuit they enjoy including mountain climbing, hiking, bicycling and scuba diving, they feel most fortunate to all live in Fort Worth, a city they love.

The Harlin Family

Justin and Beth Harlin are pictured here with their two children, Blake and Grant. Justin was born and raised in Fort Worth. He is a graduate of U.T.
