After interviewing six lawyers on Dec. 4, a subcommittee of the State Bar of Texas (SBOT) chose two nominees to recommend as 2013 president-elect candidates: Trey Apffel, a family and personal injury solo in League City, and Larry Hicks, president and managing shareholder in Hicks & Llamas in El Paso.
Also, Steve Fischer, a member of the State Bar board of directors, has gathered 5,044 lawyers’ signatures to run for president-elect as a petition candidate, only the second in history. The State Bar Act allows any lawyer to become a candidate if he collects signatures from 5 percent of active Bar members.
