Documents filed in Texarkana claim Texas Attorney General Dan Morales asked private attorneys for millions to create a defense fund against Big Tobacco. Jamail, not among the five lawyers who helped Texas broker a record 15.3 billion settlement, disputed the plan calling it improper. Walter Umphrey remained aboard, later leading counsel for the state suit, while others refused participation.
