On October 20, 2009, in Misc. Docket No. 09-9175, the Supreme Court of Texas proposed amendments to the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct as part of the State Bar's continuing self-governance process. The proposed amendments were the product of extensive debate and careful consideration by the Court, Task Force on the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, and State Bar Committee on the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct.
The Court invited public comments regarding the proposed amendments and received numerous comments in response. These comments resulted in revisions to the proposed amendments. The Court made additional revisions in response to feedback that it received from other individuals and entities, including the State Bar Discipline Client Attorney Assistance Program Committee, Chief Disciplinary Counsel Linda Acevedo, and State Bar Committee on the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct.
On April 14, 2010, the Court completed a revised version of the proposed amendments to the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. On April 16, the State Bar Board of Directors received the revised version of the proposed amendments, along with a copy of Misc. Docket No. 09-9175 and a letter from Chief Justice Jefferson to State Bar President Roland Johnson and State Bar President-Elect Terry Tottenham. In his letter, Chief Justice Jefferson requested that the Board of Directors consider the proposed amendments and provide the Court with any recommendations or comments by October 6.
This panel of experts will analyze the substance and practical impact of the proposed amendments to the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct that have generated the most debate. The panel will also discuss the process by which the proposed amendments were developed, the reasons amendments are needed, and the ways that lawyers and the public can provide input as the State Bar Board of Directors conducts public hearings and gathers information.
