(The following cases are felony – including RIC – and all trial setting dismissals derived from the Harris County District Clerk’s website – dockets tab. I examine each dismissal form before posting, post only those defendants who are free of charges and for which I have an attorney photo. These and non-photo cases are entered into the Defense Attorney spreadsheet published on Saturdays. Felony and misdemeanor dismissals are published in the spreadsheets below)

New Ethics Opinion Released

Can a lawyer ethically make statements to the news media: (1) criticizing an opponent’s litigation tactics and (2) restating allegations from the underlying complaint while the case is pending on appeal?

Under the facts presented, the Professional Ethics Committee for the State Bar of Texas says yes, pointing specifically to the “timing of the statements” to conclude that they would not have “a reasonable likelihood” of materially prejudicing a future jury trial.

See the committee’s analysis in Ethics Opinion No. 683. Courtesy of Joseph Connors, member of Ethics Commmittee
