As the South Texas ex-judge—and the attorney who bribed him—prepare to report to federal prison Tuesday, they are both facing new attorney discipline cases that seek their disbarment.
The State Bar of Texas' Commission for Lawyer Discipline filed compulsory discipline petitions to disbar former judge Rudy Delgado, who will serve five years in prison, and Edinburg solo practitioner Noe Perez Jr., sentenced to two years.
Compulsory discipline matters, heard by with the Texas Board of Disciplinary Appeals, are a streamlined process to suspend or disbar attorneys who've been convicted of certain crimes.
