With the State Bar of Texas Board of Directors scheduled to hold a public meeting next Monday, July 27, “to accept comments, discuss, and consider action regarding online commentary posted by State Bar of Texas President Larry McDougal and other officers and directors,” the LGBT Law Section of the State Bar recently joined eight other State Bar sections and committees in issuing a joint statement condemning McDougal’s recent racist comments and earlier questionable comments.
Others, including some members of the State Bar board, are calling outright for McDougal to be ousted from his position. McDougal, who recently underwent surgery, has said through a spokesperson that he does not intend to resign.
