The Texas Board of Disciplinary Appeals on July 24 heard arguments about disbarring an attorney who defrauded an insurer by making false claims that a 1977 Superbowl football signed by the Dallas Cowboys and other sports memorabilia were lost or destroyed.
The Commission for Lawyer Discipline said that Rockwall attorney Robert Glen Vernon Jr. was indicted on Nov. 13, 2013, for insurance fraud between $20,000 and $100,000. He pleaded guilty to the charge, a third-degree felony, in a plea agreement on April 6, 2015, and received seven years of community supervision, a $2,000 fine and $239 in court costs, according to the petition for compulsory discipline in In The Matter of Robert Glen Vernon Jr.
