Harris County District Attorneys office v. John Barkley Burns

Appellee is a bail bondsman in Harris County, Texas. In the winter of 1989, he was notified by the Harris County Bail Bond Board that his license was subject to revocation for allegedly making a bond outside of the county in which he was licensed to do business. Appellee hired an attorney, Debra Danburg, to represent him before the Board. Ms. Danburg was a member of the state legislature, and on the date of the hearing she was in attendance at a duly called session of the Texas Legislature.
