Roy Q. Minton, Petitioners v. Raymond Frank, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and affirmed the trial court's summary judgment granting an injunction, holding that attorneys who represent criminal defendants are exempt from the licensing and bonding requirements of Section 6 of Article 2372p‑3. The Court affirmed that attorneys remain subject to the Act’s other provisions, such as the prohibition on prohibited practices and the sheriff’s authority to examine bonds.
