Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The State Bar of Texas is the regulatory body authorized by the Texas Legislature to reprimand or disbar attorneys for unethical conduct. The American Bar Association is a national organization that provides resources and guidelines for legal professionals, but does not have regulatory power over individual attorneys. The Texas Supreme Court is the highest court in the state, but its primary function is to hear appeals and interpret the law, not to regulate attorney conduct. The Attorney General and Governor also do not have the authority to discipline attorneys for unethical behavior.
