He is a Red Raider, having graduated from Texas Tech University in 1996 with a B.B.A of accounting. Tray later went on to earn his law degree from Oklahoma City University in 2000, and in the same year, married his wife Heidi, and promptly moved back to Lubbock to begin practicing law.

He served in many roles as a prosecutor, including trial chief of the 364th District Court, Chief of homicide, as well as Special Assistant US Attorney, where he prosecuted violent felons under the Project Safe Neighborhood initiative.
In 2009, he opened his private practice law firm, known today as Payne, Powell and Truitt Law Group. Tray is also a licensed real estate broker and partner in ALL real estate and he maintains ownership in Garza County Abstract, a title company in Post.
