Attorney Grievance v. Malone

Summary

The Court disbarred Edward Allen Malone for a sustained course of intentional dishonesty in seeking admission to the Texas Bar. Malone concealed prior bar admissions and disciplinary history, made false sworn statements, failed to correct those misrepresentations, and later offered additional false explanations, constituting fraud, perjury, and violations of multiple professional-conduct rules. The Court concluded that the misconduct warranted the severe sanction for intentional dishonesty despite the absence of client misappropriation or actual client harm.
