Texas Attorney Advertising Disclaimers
While a strong marketing campaign is critical, it must understand its legal limits. That is why for every website we create, we ensure that we include a disclaimer that states that all information provided on the website should never be considered legal advice and that reading such advice or filling out a contact form does not establish an attorney-client relationship. This will help your firm avoid potential future legal issues.

In the state of Texas, the Bar has implemented several Rules for Professional Conduct of which attorneys must adhere to at all times.
