In 1972, Pendleton returned to the political arena to run, unsuccessfully, against the long-term incumbent Robert S. Calvert (1892-1981) for Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, who won the last of his two-year terms. Pendleton accused Calvert of having mishandled [[sales tax]] collections, a situation which led to declining state revenues.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth82447/m1/2/|title=''The Bartlett (Texas) Tribune and News''|publisher=texashistory.unt.eud|accessdate=December 17, 2010}}</ref> Two years later, Calvert withdrew from the Democratic primary when faced with the strong challenge of Robert Douglas "Bob" Bullock, Sr. (1929-1999), a former Texas Secretary of State who would serve as comptroller from 1975 to 1991, when he became lieutenant governor ​
