Some Texas lawyers oppose a committee’s recommendation for League City solo Trey Apffel to become the next executive director of the State Bar of Texas. But Apffel said that lawyers should give him a chance.
Arguing that Apffel has testified that Texas lawyers should no longer have a right to vote on attorney rule referendums, the opponents of Apffel’s nomination are urging lawyers to contact their representatives on the bar’s board of directors and ask them to vote for a different finalist for executive director. The board plans to vote on the executive director position during its next meeting on Sept. 22.
