Former Houston lawyer Stuart Bryson Collins, now the owner of an organic farming business in Canada, is fighting extradition to Texas. After Collins gave up his Texas law license over a discipline suit and moved to Canada, a grand jury indicted him on two felony charges of misappropriation of fiduciary property from clients. Collins says he is not guilty of the charges, and is appealing the extradition orders in Canadian courts. "The moment I step out of Canada, it's all over for me," he says.

Instead of battling weeds at his farm in Quebec, Canada, former Houston lawyer Stuart Bryson Collins is fighting extradition to Texas.
Collins, who gained notoriety in Texas in the early 1990s when his client filed a $1 billion conspiracy suit against a Texas governor, gave up his Texas law license in 1994 to end a suit brought by the Commission for Lawyer Discipline. He then moved to Canada and built a new career as an owner of an organic farming business.
