Voting by acclamation on May 7, a State Bar of Texas committee recommended that the bar board of directors elect Ross Fischer, a former attorney in the bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel, as its general counsel.

The General Counsel Search Committee selected Fischer, a partner in The Gober Group in Austin, from a field of three finalists. The other two finalists are Martha Dickie, a partner in Almanza, Blackburn, Dickie & Mitchell, and Michael Shaunessy, a partner in McGinnis Lochridge.
