Texas Supreme Court
San Antonio Bar Association v. Guardian Abstract & Title Company
April 18, 1956156 Tex. 7
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals' modification of a permanent injunction that had barred Guardian Abstract & Title Company and its lawyer‑owners from preparing legal instruments for third parties, and affirmed the trial court's original injunction, which includes the corporate respondents, their agents, employees, and stockholders. The Court held that narrowing the injunction would permit evasion of the corporate practice of law prohibition. Justice Griffin dissented, arguing that stockholder lawyers should not be enjoined.
