As a follow-up to yesterday’s post on the Texas Lawyer’s Creed, we thought we’d also note that Texas’ Government Code, Ch. 81, Sec. 81.079 requires that attorneys practicing law in Texas:
[P]rovide notice to each of the attorney’s clients of the existence of a grievance process by: (1) making grievance brochures prepared by the state bar available at the attorney’s place of business; (2) posting a sign prominently displayed in the attorney’s place of business describing the process; (3) including the information on a written contract for services with the client; or (4) providing the information in a bill for services to the client.
The Texas State Bar has made notices available (in English and in Spanish) at the following link.
