- Reporting unethical behavior of Texas attorneys helps reduce and prevent harm to the public and the legal profession. In order for the State Bar to investigate the attorney’s conduct, the person seeking to complain about the attorney must file a written grievance using the current grievance form describing the attorney’s alleged Professional Misconduct with the State Bar’s Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel. If you are not a client or former client of the attorney you are reporting, the Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure set forth limitations regarding who may file a grievance.The filing of a written grievance with any one of the CDC’s regional offices initiates the disciplinary process. Texas attorneys are subject to discipline only if they have been found to have violated the ethics rules (Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct).
