POWER OF ATTORNEY

I hereby confirm that I have authorized and designated each of Ernesto Bautista
III and R. Sean Elliott to execute and file on my behalf all SEC Section 16
forms (including any amendments thereto) that I may be required to file with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission as a result of my position
with, or my ownership of or transactions in securities of, CARBO Ceramics Inc.
(the "Company"). The authority of such individual under this Statement shall
continue for as long as I am required to file such forms, unless earlier
terminated by my delivery of a written revocation of this authorization to the
Company.  I hereby acknowledge that such individual is not assuming, nor is the
Company assuming, any of my responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
