From an Austin-area attorney who was convicted of possession of child pornography, to a lawyer caught forging a judge's signature, serious misconduct by attorneys across Texas dotted the latest lawyer-discipline cases.

The State Bar of Texas on Friday released a list of the lawyers who were sanctioned for misconduct and violating attorney ethics codes. Here are a handful of some of the notable cases.

Child Pornography

The Texas Board of Disciplinary Appeals on Sept. 18 suspended the law license of Round Rock attorney Tallion Kyle Taylor, as he appeals three convictions for possession of child pornography. The Commission for Lawyer Discipline requested the suspension, alleging that Taylor's crimes were serious and intentional under the rules of disciplinary procedure.

The indictment in Taylor's criminal case charged him with 10 counts of possession of child pornography, a third-degree felony. A Williamson County jury on Jan. 31 found Taylor guilty of three of the counts, and sentenced him to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine, but suspended the sentence and fine and placed him on probation for 10 years. Taylor must register as a sex offender, restrict his contact with children and refrain from living within 1,000 feet of a "child-safety zone" like a school or day care center.
