The Me Too Stop Legal Bullying movement is taking this fight to Austin.
The structural gaps in Texas allow legal bullying to continue — invisibly and at enormous cost to Texas families. These are not accidents. They are policy failures that can be corrected when citizens and legislators act together.
Currently in Texas — The Gap in Protections
No requirement that attorneys plainly explain arbitration clauses before a client signs
No standard disclosure requirement for arbitrator conflicts of interest
No tracking of financial losses suffered by the public due to legal misconduct
Only ~5–6% of bar grievances result in any disciplinary action
Clients should receive a clear, separate, plain-English disclosure before signing any legal engagement agreement containing an arbitration clause — signed and dated separately from the main contract.
Arbitrators should be required to fully disclose all financial relationships, prior engagements, and potential conflicts before accepting an appointment — with meaningful legal consequences for omission or misrepresentation.
Regulatory bodies should be required to track and publicly report estimated financial losses related to substantiated misconduct complaints — creating accountability through transparent data accessible to the public.
Fee conversion agreements — such as switching from hourly to contingency mid-case — should require independent acknowledgment and a meaningful cooling-off period before becoming binding on the client.
