Tex. R. Disciplinary P. 9.01
Orders From Other Jurisdictions
Upon receipt of information indicating that an
attorney licensed to practice law in Texas has been disciplined in another jurisdiction, including
by any federal court or federal agency, the Chief Disciplinary Counsel shall diligently seek to
obtain a certified copy of the order or judgment of discipline from the other jurisdiction, and file
it with the Board of Disciplinary Appeals along with a petition requesting that the attorney be
disciplined in Texas. A c ertified copy of the order or judgment is prima facie evidence of the
matters contained therein, and a final adjudication in another jurisdiction that an attorney licensed
to practice law in Texas has committed Professional Misconduct is conclusive for the purposes of
a Disciplinary Action under this Part, subject to the defenses set forth in Rule 9.04 below. For
purposes of this Part, “discipline” by a federal court or federal agency means a public reprimand,
suspension, or disbarment; the term does not include a letter of “ warning” or “admonishment” or
a similar advisory by a federal court of federal agency.

Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
