Violation of rights: a criminal act?

[Lofi]

An attorney in the state of Texas proceeded to obtain financial information about me via several subpoena's he issued. This attorney was looking for information that could possibly provide him with grounds to file a lawsuit against me on behalf of my ex-spouse. The subpoena's were issued without any lawsuits being filed against me.

The different institutions (such as my employer, my retirement account management company, mortgage company, stock options management company, etc.) provided him with the financial information he demanded. This attorney proceeded to file a lawsuit against me based on the documents he received and then proceeded to subpoena the records again (so it will look like he did that after the fact).

I have been informed that my rights have been violated and that in the State of Texas, such acts are considered criminal and should be reported to the Texas Board. Is this true? If so, which State of Texas laws have been broken? Is it chapter 27 of theCriminal Code? Do I have a recourse against this attorney?

Thanks,

Eric

Report it to the State State Bar. Texas does allow pre-complaint discovery but a judge normally has to approve it at a hearing that you would be noticed to.

So see what has happened!
