This guide was created for litigants who encounter professional misconduct and ethical issues within the legal system in Texas. We provide links to the rules that attorneys and judges must follow as well as to the disciplinary rules that members of the judiciary are subject to. We also provide information about organizations you may contact for assistance in resolving disputes. The Practice Aids tab provides a list of library resources that may be useful to practitioners looking for additional information on legal ethics.
Below you will find references to areas of the Texas Government Code and Texas Rules that govern judicial and attorney conduct. If you find these statutes difficult to understand, the sections below on complaints against attorneys and judges may provide useful information.
