After more than an hour behind closed doors today in Lubbock, the State Bar of Texas board of directors voted 42-to-1, with one abstention, to name Trey Apffel, the bar’s president in 2014-2015, as the next executive director.
Apffel, founder of and a principal in the Apffel Law Firm in League City, will assume his duties as executive director Dec. 1, according to Lowell Brown, communications division director for the bar. Apffel replaces Michelle Hunter, the bar’s executive director since 2008, who retired effective Aug. 31.
