The Texas State Bar's Commission for Lawyer Discipline has asked that lawyer
Stuart Leeds' probation be revoked after 409th District Judge Sam Medrano last
month held him in contempt of court.
If a visiting judge agrees with the State Bar's motion, Leeds' law license
will be suspended for six months. The judge, Martin B. Muncy of Andrews, has
scheduled a hearing for 9:30 a.m. on April 25.
Last year, Muncy signed off on an agreement between Leeds and the State Bar
that placed his license on six months' probation after he and his frequent
co-counsel Theresa Caballero, were convicted last year of contempt for their
behavior in a 2011 case. Caballero's disciplinary case is ongoing.
Medrano cited Leeds for contempt for filing untrue documents with the
court.

Sounds like the TX Bar is starting to take hold a bit.
It's about time, but there's a long way to go to clean up their image.
It sounds positive!
