Tom, I don't know all the details/history for sure.
If you google it, there's a post by Fusion Power where he says it's developed from Brandywine (I did not know that):

J.D. Special C-Tex - black variety, beefsteak form, relatively good flavor, was developed from Brandywine. I have grown it each year since I got seed. If I rated the black when ripe varieties, Black From Tula, Paul Robeson, and J.D's would be the top three for flavor.

There's also a post by Craig as follows:

JD Special C Tex - remarkably similar to Cherokee Purple in color, fruit size and shape - perhaps a bit more firm/solid textured, flavor not quite as intense, plant more rampant, but a very good tomato - plant from Fusion, seed via Scott in Texas

It was bred by a fellow named JD in Conroe, TX, hence the name.
