On Oct. 20, the Texas Supreme Court issued broad and extensive proposed amendments to the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. The court noted that it will accept public comments about the changes until Dec. 31.

Under the amendments there are five newly defined terms that apply to the entire body of rules. There are 40 revised rules. There are four new rules — five if you count Rule 1.00, the new terminology rule. And there are 11 rules that have not been amended except through the terminology changes added by Rule 1.00.
