The State Bar of Texas, Petitioner v. Robert L. Evans, Jr., Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and affirmed the trial court's disbarment of Robert L. Evans, Jr. It held that the State Bar's rebuttal character evidence was admissible, that disciplinary proceedings are civil, that Evans failed to preserve error regarding that evidence, and that the appellate court improperly relied on Inpetco precedent.
