A Houston attorney who has been defending himself in a disciplinary case that alleges he committed barratry must now defend a second disciplinary lawsuit alleging he forged a client’s signature on a settlement document.

Clyde Miller has already denied the allegations in the Commission for Lawyer Discipline’s earlier lawsuit, which alleges he violated barratry-related rules in the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. The allegations in that case were nearly identical to allegations the commission lobbed against state Rep. Ron Reynolds, D-Missouri City. Reynolds has also denied the CFLD’s allegations.
