Royston, Rayzor, Vickery, & Williams, LLP, Petitioner v. Francisco “frank” Lopez, Respondent in Re Royston, Rayzor…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the arbitration provision in the attorney‑client employment contract was enforceable because the respondent failed to prove it was substantively unconscionable, contrary to public policy, or illusory. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals' judgment and remanded for the trial court to order arbitration. Justice Guzman filed a concurring opinion agreeing with the result but urging clearer ethical guidelines for attorneys.
