A Lawyer's Guide to Client Trust Accounts
The publication, "A Lawyer's Guide to Client Trust Accounts", was
developed specifically to assist Texas lawyers in complying with Rule 1.14
of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct which governs the
safekeeping of property. This rule is commonly referred to as the trust
account rule. Unfortunately, and all too often, lawyers who fail to follow
Rule 1.14 become part of the lawyer discipline system administered by the
Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel and face severe sanctions, including
disbarment. It is imperative that the public is protected from lawyer
misconduct. Equally imperative, however, is for lawyers to have the
information they need in order to adhere to the disciplinary rules and
protect themselves from the grievance process. Please take the time to read
"A Lawyer's Guide to Client Trust Accounts" to determine how this
information may benefit you and your law firm.
