Personal Life
Cornyn and his wife, Sandy Hansen, have two daughters.
Cornyn gained national attention when he released a video referring to himself as "Big Bad John". The video was featured on comedy shows such as The Colbert Report and The Daily Show.
In 1999, Cornyn, as state attorney general, awarded "Lawman of the Year" to free-lance, discredited undercover officer Tom Coleman, for his work in Tulia, Texas. This work resulted in the "Tulia 46" scandal.
