Michael S. Truesdale, of the Commission for Lawyer Discipline, and Seana Willing, of the State Bar of Texas Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel, explain what Texas lawyers need to know about the Texas grievance process.
“Practicing law in Texas is a privilege. The minimum standards of ethical conduct under which all attorneys must conform are set forth in the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, or TDRPC, as approved by the Texas Supreme Court. In Texas, there are no exceptions—every lawyer licensed by the State Bar of Texas must comply with these rules and are subject to consequences when they do not.”
