On April 26, the Texas Young Lawyers Association told president-elect candidate David Courreges to cease all campaigning. The move came after his opponent, C.E. Rhodes, filed formal complaints with TYLA nominations chairwoman Cori Harbour, alleging that multiple people posted pro-Courreges messages on Facebook, an Austin publication ran a story on Courreges, and an Austin law firm endorsed him in a firm newsletter and on Facebook.
Rhodes had sought to get Courreges disqualified, or for Courreges’ votes from Austin to be thrown out, but a TYLA nominations appeals committee on April 28 rejected that proposal. Voting in the election ended at 5 p.m. on May 2.
