DALLAS, Oct. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- If an attorney has been disbarred in one state and is licensed to practice law in another, generally there is an ethical and often legal obligation to report disbarment to the state(s) where that attorney is licensed to practice. Failing to report disbarment in another jurisdiction can have serious consequences, including potential disciplinary action in the other state(s). In Texas, an attorney may be disciplined for conduct occurring in another jurisdiction or resulting in lawyer discipline in another jurisdiction, if it is professional misconduct under the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct.

Key Points: 
  • Failing to report disbarment in another jurisdiction can have serious consequences, including potential disciplinary action in the other state(s).
  • In May 2022, a subsequent Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Hearing was held regarding Evan's prior conduct and whether re-instatement or permanent disbarment should be imposed.
  • The Texas State Bar has now been made aware of this disbarment, and Evans' suitability to practice law in Texas is currently under review.
  • You can often do this online by searching for the attorney's name on the state bar's website or by calling the bar association's office.
