==Biography==
A native of Gray County, Patrick was presumably born in Pampa, Texas. In 1935, at the age of one year, he was living in nearby Dumas in Moore County. Both counties are located in the Texas Panhandle.
Patrick ran unsuccessfully for the state House in 1978 before winning his seat in 1980. His primary opponent, James G. Branaum, sued Patrick under Texas campaign finance law to recover civil penalties on the grounds that Patrick had paid his filing fee in 1980 without first appointing a campaign treasurer. Patrick argued that he was using his 1978 campaign manager, Vita Mayo, until he named a relative, Edgar Harry von Scheele, as his replacement manager for 1980. The Texas Court of Appeals for the Fourth District held that Patrick's delay in switching managers did not impact the outcome of the primary and that Branaum was not entitled to damages.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tx.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.19821020_0041885.TX.htm/qx|title=Branaum v. Patrick|date=October 20, 1982|publisher=findacase.com|accessdate=January 16, 2021}}</ref>
Patrick was not the first Republican to represent Bexar County in the state House since [[Reconstruction]]. That designation was taken in 1973 by lawmakers James Robertson Nowlin, subsequently a long-serving federal judge, and the late Joe Sage, a one-term member of the House.
In 1985, Patrick was the lone House supporter of the unsuccessful attempt to authorize [[English]] as the official language of Texas. His House Concurrent Resolution 13 died in the State Affairs Committee. Patrick said that his resolution was more important than having a "state bird." In subsequent sessions of the legislature, the move toward Official English gained supporters, including Talmadge Heflin of [[Houston, Texas|Houston]], but never enough members to approve enactment of a law.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hI7kG1x237kC&pg=PA160&lpg=PA160&dq=Kae+T+Patrick&source=bl&ots=cLtrlly_L-&sig=XL6IyQMTXsqjNGO0clpb7M0fsaI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=HWbmVIGABYefgwTfuoCYBQ&ved=0CCMQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Kae%20T%20Patrick&f=false|title=Nativism Reborn?: The Official English Language Movement and the American States|author=Raymond Tatalovich|publisher=[[University of Kentucky]] Press]]|location=Lexington, Kentucky|page=166|accessdate=February 19, 2015}}</ref>
