Acevedo V. Commission For Lawyer Discipline

Richard Acevedo appeals the judgment disbarring him from the practice of law. We hold that a disciplinary proceeding is not governed by the geographical constraints imposed by article V, section 7 of the Texas Constitution and section 74.094(e) of the Texas Government Code; consequently, we deny Acevedo's motion to vacate the judgment and dismiss this appeal. In so holding, we disagree with Risker v. Commission for Lawyer Discipline, 94 S.W.3d 625 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2002, pet. denied). Because the remaining issues raised in Acevedo's brief are likewise without merit, we affirm the judgment.
