Lawyer barred from soliciting but layman may legally solicit
Fourth Court of Civil Appeals rules Texas law oddly permits laymen to solicit employment in injury claims while forbidding lawyers to do so. The decision remands six cases and notes no clear statewide rule against a non lawyer soliciting claims for unemployment or to present claims or sue. Judges affirmed some actions and reversed others in the Texas appellate panel decisions.
