Under a proposed policy change approved Jan. 11 by the State Bar of Texas Executive Committee, the bar's board would decide whether to uphold executive director decisions to withhold bar records requested by officers or directors of the organization.
The proposal, which still must be approved by the bar board later this month, would apply to bar records not covered by the Texas Public Information Act.
“It's a policy where we don't have a policy now,” John Sirman, the bar's legal counsel, told the committee members.
