A native of Crockett in Houston County in East Texas, Turner is one of two children of Democratic former U.S. Representative Jim Turner, who represented Texas's 2nd congressional district from 1997 to 2005. Jim Turner also served in both houses of the Texas legislature. John Turner graduated from Harvard University and Yale Law School. He formerly resided in Houston, Texas. He is now employed by the Dallas firm of Haynes and Boone and was the lead attorney for eighty-eight public school districts which fought a three-year legal battle for equitable school funding. He has represented Dallas and more than two dozen other Texas municipalities in opposition to the construction of eleven new coal-fired power plants in the state. Since 2004, Turner has been married to the former Jenia Iontcheva, also a Yale Law graduate. She is a professor at Southern Methodist University. The couple is United Methodist and has two sons. (en)
