After college, Fallon relocated to Denton County, Texas, in the early 1990s. He is the president and chief executive officer of Virtus Apparel, a company that specializes in clothing of military and patriotic design. Based in Prosper, Texas, it has a dozen national locations and about 100 total employees.{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/VirtusApparel|title=Virtus Apparel|publisher=Facebook|access-date=March 20, 2014}}

In 2009, Fallon launched a campaign that netted him 57% of the vote to defeat three opponents for an at-large seat on the Frisco City Council. In the Denton County portion of Frisco, which consists of about one-third of the voters in House District 106, Fallon polled 65% of the vote. In his first year on the city council, Fallon voted against a tax rate increase. In 2010, he voted against a city budget that would have increased the municipal debt.{{cite web|url=http://www.fallonfortexas.com/in-the-news/records-on-display-new-10/|title=Records on Display in New 106|publisher=fallonfortexas.com|access-date=March 20, 2014|archive-date=March 21, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140321040659/http://www.fallonfortexas.com/in-the-news/records-on-display-new-10/|url-status=dead}} In May 2011, his council colleagues selected him to serve as mayor pro tem.

Fallon defended his "Merry Christmas" law in an appearance on David Barton's WallBuilders Live radio program, telling co-host Rick Green, a former member of the Texas House from Hays County in suburban Austin, that those offended by public schools hosting Christmas parties should examine their own hearts to evaluate their attitudes. Both Fallon and Green said that no citizen has a constitutional right "not to be offended". Fallon vowed to make T-shirts with a Christmas theme for pupils to wear on the day before the holiday break.{{cite web|title=Kyle Mantyla, Warriors For Christmas: Texas State Rep.

In 2013 Fallon supported Texas House Bill 2, a bill that would ban abortion after 20 weeks of gestation and require abortion providers to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. The measure passed the House, 96–49. These issues brought forth an unsuccessful filibuster in the Texas State Senate by Senator Wendy R. Davis.{{cite news|author=Fernandez, M.|date=June 25, 2013|title=Filibuster in Texas Senate Tries to Halt Abortion Bill|newspaper=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/26/us/politics/senate-democrats-in-texas-try-blocking-abortion-bill-with-filibuster.html|access-date=March 9, 2014}} Parts of the bill were later deemed unconstitutional and struck down by the Supreme Court of the United States in Whole Woman's Health v.

Fallon opposed the bill to establish a taxpayer-funded breakfast program for public schools; the measure passed the House, 73–58.

Fallon co-sponsored the measure to forbid the state from engaging in the enforcement of federal regulations of firearms. He co-sponsored legislation to allow college and university officials to carry concealed weapons on campus and in vehicles in the name of security. He voted to reduce the time required to obtain a concealed-carry permit. Fallon voted for term limits for certain state officials. To protect election integrity, Fallon supported legislation to forbid an individual from turning in multiple ballots.

In May 2020, Fallon launched a campaign for Texas's 4th congressional district to replace former U.S. representative John Ratcliffe, who resigned to become Director of National Intelligence. On August 8, 2020, Fallon was selected to replace Ratcliffe on the November ballot by the 18 county Republican Party chairs and precinct chairs in the district, winning the nomination with 82 votes to his nearest opponent's 34.{{Cite web|last=Svitek|first=Patrick|date=2020-08-08|title=Texas State Sen.

As expected, Fallon won the general election in a landslide, with 75% of the vote to Foster's 22%. When he took office, he was only the sixth person to represent this district since its creation in 1903.

On January 6, 2021, Fallon, along with 147 of his fellow congressional Republicans, voted to block certification of the results for President-elect Joe Biden's 2020 United States presidential election.{{cite news |last1=Yourish |first1=Karen |last2=Buchanan |first2=Larry |last3=Lu |first3=Denise |title=The 147 Republicans Who Voted to Overturn Election Results |url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/01/07/us/elections/electoral-college-biden-objectors.html |access-date=9 January 2021 |work=The New York Times |date=7 January 2021}}

In February 2022, the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) board filed a report stating that there was "substantial reason to believe" that Fallon had violated a federal stock law.{{cite news |last1=Leonard |first1=Kimberly |title=Congressional investigators find 'substantial reason to believe' Republican Reps. Pat Fallon and John Rutherford violated a federal stock law |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/congress-stocks-pat-fallon-john-rutherford-chris-jacobs-2022-5 |access-date=5 June 2022 |publisher=Business Insider |date=May 31, 2022}} The House Committee on Ethics released that report on May 31, 2022, indicating that it was investigating Fallon over repeated reporting violations of the STOCK Act, enacted in 2012 to prevent insider trading using non-public information by members of Congress and other government employees. Members of Congress are required to report any stock transaction over $1,000 within 45 days. Violations are subject to a $200 fine.

The OCE report stated that during the first half of 2021, Fallon filed late reports representing as much as $17.53 million in trades. An OCE review of his record began in the fall of 2021. Reports for trades made in December 2021 again missed the required filing date. The OCE report states, "Rep. Fallon produced a limited set of documents to the OCE and declined to interview with the OCE. This non-cooperation undermined the OCE's ability to verify Rep. Fallon's overall STOCK Act compliance and to fully assess the reasons for his late filings."{{cite news |last1=Levinthal |first1=Dave |date=June 29, 2021 |title=Republican Rep.

Fallon initially claimed he thought that reporting was required annually, as in the Texas legislature. On March 18, 2022, one of his lawyers, Kate Belinski, sent the OCE a letter insisting that Fallon's beliefs were "a common misconception, which, coupled with the overwhelming amount of information new members and their staff receive at the beginning of their terms, often results in inadvertent late disclosures." She insisted that Fallon had cooperated by providing the documents OCE requested. But the OCE report noted Fallon's "late disclosure of reportable transactions, which continued even after he was on notice of his STOCK Act filing obligations."{{Cite web |last=Rojas |first=Warren |date=2022-01-11 |title=Reps.

Fallon is married to Susan Kimberly Garner; they have two sons.

During his tenure in the state senate, Fallon lived in the Denton County portion of Prosper, which was just outside the 4th's boundaries. While candidates for the House are only constitutionally required to live in the state they wish to represent, longstanding convention holds that they live either in or reasonably close to the district they wish to represent.

Fallon is a member of Holy Cross Catholic Church in The Colony. He is a donor to Dallas Baptist University, Frisco Family Services, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
