Re: 201504443 - Steve Fischer;Ruth Ann Kollman; Brian Matthew Bouffard - Warren Kenneth Paxton, Jr.

Dear Mr. Dower:


The Summary Disposition Panel for the District Grievance Committee has determined that the
above-referenced Complaint should be dismissed. The Complainant cannot appeal this
determination of the Summary Disposition Panel. Accordingly, our file on this matter has been
closed and this office will take no further action.
Please know that the Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel maintains confidentiality in the
grievance process as directed by the Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure, except that the
pendency, subject matter, and status of a Disciplinary Proceedings may be disclosed by the Chief
Disciplinary Counsel if the Respondent has waived confidentiality or the Disciplinary Proceeding
is based upon conviction of a serious crime.
Pursuant to Texas Government Code 81.072( o), if a Grievance is dismissed as an Inquiry and
that dismissal has become final, an attorney may deny that the dismissed Grievance was pursued.
The State Bar Act requires that all cognizable dismissed grievances be referred to the State Bar's
voluntary dispute resolution program, the Client-Attorney Assistance Program (CAAP). The
Complainant has been so notified and if CAAP facilitation is requested, you will be notified in:
writing. If you would like additional information, you may contact CAAP at 1-800-932-1900.
Sincerely,

~~~

Rebecca (Beth) Stevens


Assistant Disciplinary Counsel
