The Commission for Lawyer Discipline, a “standing committee of the State Bar of Texas and serves as the client in the Texas attorney discipline system,” filed the complaints against Powell in a Dallas court on Mar. 1. In accordance with the Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure, the case will be assigned to a judge whose district does not include Dallas County.
According to the suit, Powell filed multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions, including in battleground states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin, alleging that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent when “she had no reasonable basis to believe the lawsuits she filed were not frivolous.”
