Description
The district court dismissed for want of jurisdiction the disbarrment proceeding brought against a non-resident attorney licensed by the State of Texas and founded on alleged acts committed while he was a Texas resident. The trial court viewed the State Bar Act declaration that "No disbarrment proceedings shall be instituted against any attorney except in the District Court located in the county of said attorneys residence" as being mandatory and exclusive. In our view, the statutory proviso relates only to venue for disbarrment proceedings instituted against resident attorneys and the act, not being a jurisdictional statute, does not deprive the district court of its implied jurisdiction to entertain disbarrment proceedings against a non-resident attorney licensed by the state for acts committed while the attorney was a Texas resident. Reversed and remanded.
