Former Houston Attorney Continues to Fight Extradition From Canada
Former Houston lawyer Stuart Bryson Collins gave up his Texas law license in 1994 to end a suit brought by the Commission for Lawyer Discipline and moved to Quebec, Canada, to build a new career in the organic farming business. Now he's fighting extradition back to Texas to face two 1995 felony charges of misappropriation of funds from clients of his former law practice.
