Texas SB2175 amends the prosecution criteria for prohibited barratry and solicitation of professional employment.

Texas SB2175 modifies the Texas Penal Code to redefine the criminal offenses of prohibited barratry and solicitation of professional employment. It specifies that a person commits an offense if they knowingly institute a suit or claim without authorization, solicit employment through various means, or offer money or value to a prospective client or their family member for employment. The bill also details scenarios where such solicitations are prohibited, including those involving accidents, lawsuits, or when the recipient has expressed a desire not to be contacted.
