Eric Dean Perkins of Nueces County, Bar No. 15785060, has been publicly reprimanded for the following violation of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct:
• Rule 1.15(d) — Upon termination of representation, a lawyer shall take steps to the extent reasonably practicable to protect a client’s interests, such as giving reasonable notice to the client, allowing time for employment of other counsel, surrendering papers and property to which the client is entitled and refunding any advance payments of fee that has not been earned. The lawyer may retain papers relating to the client to the extent permitted by other law only if such retention will not prejudice the client in the subject matter of the representation.
