Relating to procedures for a complaint filed with the State Bar of Texas against an attorney.

SB 133 amends Texas law governing complaints filed against attorneys with the State Bar of Texas. It adds new procedures allowing the Texas Supreme Court to stay proceedings and reconsider the State Bar's finding of "just cause" after an investigation, with motions requiring a decision within 45 days or being automatically denied. The bill affects attorneys facing complaints, the State Bar's chief disciplinary counsel, and the Supreme Court by creating a new reconsideration step. Key provisions clarify that filing a stay motion doesn't delay trial or hearing deadlines and specify that the new process applies only to complaints filed on or after September 1, 2025.
