Meyer was born in Lubbock, Texas. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and history from Southern Methodist University and a Juris Doctor from the Washington and Lee University School of Law.[1]
Meyer worked as an intern for Congressman Larry Combest and as a law clerk for Judge John McClellan Marshall. Meyer has since worked as an attorney at Bracewell LLP and Wick Phillips. Meyer was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in November 2014 and assumed office in January 2015.[2] During the 2019–2020 legislative session, Meyer was the chair of the House General Investigating Committee.

In 2021, Meyer pushed for legislation that would extend a multibillion-dollar corporate tax incentive program in Texas. Investigative reporting by the Houston Chronicle revealed that nearly all applicants for the corporate tax incentive program had their applications approved, that dozens of companies failed to fulfill its pledges, and that some companies had already completed the projects that they had applied to the program for.[4]
Meyer and his wife, Keana, have three children.[5]
