John M. O’quinn, Appellant v. State Bar of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's denial of a temporary and permanent injunction sought by attorney John M. O'Quinn, holding that the State Bar's anti‑solicitation disciplinary rules are constitutional under both the United States and Texas constitutions and do not violate equal‑protection or open‑courts provisions. The Court affirmed its jurisdiction to review the constitutional question on direct appeal and remanded for further proceedings. Justice Gonzalez and Chief Justice Phillips filed concurring opinions, while Justice Ray noted a dissent.
