Under the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, can I be disciplined if I pay someone not licensed to practice law to solicit clients for me or to refer clients to me?

With certain very limited exceptions, the answer is yes. See Rule 7.03(b).

Also, see Rule 7.03(c) which prohibits payments to clients or anyone else in order to solicit employment.

Additionally, accepting referrals from certain Lawyer Referral Services is also prohibited. See 7.03(e).

Whatcha Reckon Shannon Lang, is it Barratry?

Rejoinder

Definition;

A rejoinder is a response or reply to a statement or argument made by another person. It is often used in the context of a debate, discussion, or disagreement.

A rejoinder is typically a concise and focused statement that addresses the key points raised by the other person’s argument or statement, and may provide counterpoints or additional information to support one’s own position.

In general, a rejoinder is a way to continue a conversation or exchange of ideas by engaging with the points raised by the other person, and can help to clarify and deepen understanding of a particular topic.
