welcome to DU, FLFinch!

Texas State Bar Address

HOUSTON, TX, 77002
phone [phone]

Bar Card Number: 1529750

John E. O'Neill, author of Unfit for Command, is an attorney licensed and practicing in Texas. Rumor has it he thinks he will be appointed a federal judge...let's not let that happen.

According to the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct:

Rule 8.02 Judicial and Legal Officials (a) A lawyer shall not make a statement that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity concerning the *qualifications or integrity* of a judge, adjudicatory official or public legal officer, or of a *candidate for election* or appointment to judicial or legal office.

Rule 8.04 Misconduct (a) A lawyer shall not: (3) engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation;

The State Bar can sanction him, suspend his license or even DISBAR him.

PLEASE WRITE, FAX, FED EX THE TEXAS STATE BAR TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THESE VIOLATIONS - including specific examples would be best:

P.O. Box 12487
Austin, Texas 78711

1414 Colorado St.
Austin, TX 78701

Fax: [phone]

Telephone Numbers --- but writing is better

Toll Free: [phone]
Local: [phone]


FEEL FREE TO POST THIS EVERYWHERE AND E-MAIL IT EVERWHERE - I can't make a new thread but would be great if someone else would create this as a new thread.

1. And who runs Texas?

Yeah. I have better things to do right now.

2. Thanks

Hope the State Bar will do the right thing...But we can certainly provide some "encouragement" in their direction.

Also - keep in mind that this is the biggest stick you or I will probably realistically have over this moron. So let's grab this stick and bonk him with it but good.

6. Does This Violate ABA Rules?

Is O'Neill a member of the American Bar Association? I'm sure their bylaws are similar and disbarment is just what this slime needs.

Anyone know if we can kick this to a higher level?
