He first studied at Freed-Hardeman University, an institution founded in Henderson in 1908 by his father and A. G. Freed. He attended the University of Florida in Gainesville]], Florida, and procured his LLB from [[Vanderbilt University Law School] in Nashville, Tennessee.[1]

In 1932, Hardeman came to West Texas to practice law in San Angelo in Tom Green County. In 1936, he was elected mayor of San Angelo and held the municipal position for two years. In 1938, he was elected to the Texas House of Representatives from District 91 and served two two-year terms[2] before he enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps, the forerunner of the United States Air Force. Sent to officers training school, he became a judge advocate general.[1]

After his military service, Hardeman was elected in 1946 to the Texas State Senate from District 25, which then included Brewster, Coke, Coleman, Crane, Crockett, Edwards, Glasscock, Irion, Jeff Davis, Pecos, Presidio, Reagan, Runnels, Schleicher, Sterling, Sutton, Terrell, Tom Green, Upton, and Val Verde counties. Hardeman served in the upper legislative chamber for twenty-two years.[2]

Hardeman became a powerful, well-known senator because of his knowledge of the lengthy and intricate Texas Constitution, implemented in 1876 and still in use. Through his chairmanship of the Senate State Affairs Committee, Hardeman became a master of legislative procedures. He worked to revise the code of criminal procedure. He pushed for completion of Angelo State University, a four-year state-supported institution in San Angelo. He supported the construction of the Stacy Dam and Reservoir on the Upper Colordao River of Texas.[1]

In 1969, Governor Preston Smith named Hardeman the executive director of the Texas Water Commission, a position which he retained for two years. From 1971 to 1982, he was a commissioner of the agency.[3]

Hardeman was a descendant of William P. Hardeman and Bailey Hademan, two of the signers in Washington County in 1836 of the Texas Declaration of Independence.
