Under Texas law, the county or district attorney has primary jurisdiction to prosecute most criminal offenses. The Office of the Attorney General assists local prosecutors at their request.
Chapter 1 , section 1.09, of the Penal Code provides that, “with the consent of the appropriate local county or district attorney, the Attorney General has concurrent jurisdiction with that consenting local prosecutor” to prosecute certain offenses, including:
The Criminal Prosecutions Division has four sections that aid local jurisdictions where the county may not have the expertise or the resources available to investigate or prosecute a complex case. They assist if a conflict of interest prohibits the local jurisdiction from taking part in the case.
The attorney should end the letter with a statement similar to the following: "This letter is not meant to give you legal advice. You should seek legal advice in this matter from an attorney of your own choice."
An attorney receives a substantial number of hot checks from clients in payment for services rendered. In the usual fact situation, the client gives the firm a personal check in payment for representation in a court action or for preparation of the legal documents. Often the check fails to clear the bank either due to insufficient funds, or because of a closed bank account after the services have been concluded. As a result, efforts to collect the check invariably prove futile.
The District Attorney's Office in the county where the lawyer is practicing will not accept hot checks for prosecution unless efforts have been made to collect on the check pursuant to a certified letter which contains the warning that unless the check is paid, the holder of the check will turn it over to the District Attorney's Office for protection.
Absent this proof, a lawyer may not lawfully be found in violation of DR 7- 105 (A)."
There is nothing unethical in the attorney turning the hot check over to the District Attorney's Office for criminal prosecution by that office because the services have been completed. He should not be precluded from doing something that a non-lawyer could do under the same circumstances. Although Disciplinary Rule 4-101 requires that attorneys protect the secrets and confidences of their clients, Subsection C.4 of the Rule permits the attorney to divulge secrets or confidences when necessary to establish or collect a fee. Merely turning the check over to the local District Attorney's Office for prosecution does not constitute an attempt to collect the fee. It might be construed as reporting the commission of a crime and DR 4-101 does seem to protect the client against disclosures by the attorney of crimes reported to the attorney in confidence. See Texas Bar Committee Opinion 353 (July, 1970). However, it is not thought that Rule 4-101 would prevent the attorney from reporting a crime committed by the client when the attorney is the victim of the crime. If the client issues a hot check without advising his attorney of this fact, then certainly the client has not confided in his attorney.
