Per the Government Code, Chapter 81, Subchapter A, Chapter 325, The Texas Sunset Act, Section 81.036, Information on Certain Complaints, the State Bar of Texas must maintain a file on this Criticism - and notify the Complaint's author, Debbie G. Asbury,) and each person (Jordan Lindsay Preddy, CDC's Assistant Disciplinary Counsel and Christine E. McKeeman, BODA's Executive Director & General Counsel) who are the subjects of this Criticism, at least Quarterly, until Final Disposition of the Criticism.
Although Jordan Lindsay Preddy, State Bar Card #24060841, Assistant Disciplinary Counsel with Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel, and Christine E. McKeeman, State Bar Card #16174500, Executive Director & General Counsel of the BOARD OF DISCIPLINARY APPEALS (BODA), know well that THE SUPREME COURT OF TEXAS requires that Grievance Complainants are given 20 days after the receipt of BODA's DENIAL & DISMISSAL Notice to file an AMENDMENT to a Grievance, the two State Bar attorneys choose to blatantly defy Rules. In the following letter, I require Counselors Preddy and McKeeman process two Grievance AMENDMENTS - and, also, require my "Written Criticisms" be maintained in a file per The Government Code, Title 2, Subtitle G, Chapter 81, Subchapter A, Chapter 325 - Texas Sunset Act, Section 81.036, INFORMATION ON CERTAIN COMPLAINTS.
Christine E. McKeeman has been sending out improper Grievance Denial Notices, depriving Texas Citizens of Due Process, for at least, the last five years.
The standard form letter for Denials of Grievances in TX, indicates Christine E. McKeeman's incorrect statement that: "The appeal is complete, and the Board's file for this matter is closed. The Board's decision not to grant the appeal is final, and there is no appeal from the Board's decision..." Christine E. McKeeman's Denial Letters are not only discouraging but do not reflect the Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure, Section 2.10.
The standard form letter must be corrected to reflect that every Grievance Complainant can APPEAL the decision of Christine E. McKeeman, on behalf of BODA, to classify a Grievance as "an inquiry;" thereby, failing to investigate Attorney Misconduct. Each Complainant has 20 days to file an Amendment to a Grievance per The Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure, Section 2.10.
Each and every Complainant who has been wrongly deprived of Due Process by Christine E. McKeeman - since she has been sending out the incorrect Denial of Grievance Notices - must be contacted and given their Right to file an Amendment to their improperly denied Grievance.

Richard Cordray is the Director of The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, created by the Dodd-Frank financial reform law, was designed as a Google-era regulator: a data-obsessed start-up, forever iterating, laser-focused on the safety of consumers rather than the soundness of banks. With a culture of creativity and corps of true believers, it would avoid the kind of coziness that had paralyzed its predecessors in the face of rampant wrongdoing.
Just below is the letter I submitted as a preliminary complaint. As noted in my letter, more complaints will follow - to discuss in full detail how the State Bar of Texas' Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel (CDC), the Board of Disciplinary Appeals (BODA), and the State Commission on Judicial Conduct (SCJC), are PARTICIPATING in the overt fraud with Barron Casteel, Judge Gary L. Steel, Acie Craig McAda, Jonathan Hull and John T. Dierksen.
...an excerpt from the following letter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)...
I require the assistance of CFPB in debunking the myth that the State Bar of Texas’ Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel (CDC), the Board of Disciplinary Appeals (BODA) and State Commission on Judicial Conduct (SCJC), would be required by inherent professional integrity to abide by:
1. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Real Estate Regulations, for example, but not limited to: The Truth in Lending Act (TILA).
2. Mandatory TX Real Estate Regulations promulgated by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC).
3. The Deceptive Trade Practices Act and/or the Statutory Fraud Act
4. Texas Department of Insurance Regulations that govern Title and Homeowners’ Insurance and Warranty Company Insurers.

Seana Willing, Executive Director, State Commission on Judicial Conduct, has an unorthodox philosophy of "bad faith." In her viewpoint, any Texas Judge's discretion, even if it results in wrongdoing and fraud, cannot be defined as "bad faith."
The following is a true definition:Bad Faith. “Bad faith’ is not simply bad judgment
or negligence, but means the conscious doing of a
wrong for dishonest, discriminatory, or malicious
purpose.” Campos v. Ysleta Gen. Hosp., Inc., 879
S.W.2d 67, 71 (Tex. App.—El Paso 1994, writ
denied).

Via Priority Mail on March 5, 2014, I required BODA Vice Chair, Joal Cannon Sheridan, to make a decision on my Grievance against Christine E. McKeeman, BODA's Executive Director and General Counsel.
The State Commission on Judicial Conduct responded to my Grievance Against Judge Gary L. Steel with an unsigned letter! I have asked for a letter with a signature from an authorized individual.
In next week, I will provide all the information to LaMar Smith regarding the Frivolous Lawsuit I was subjected to during the period from 2007-2009. It will be of interest to him that - not only Barron Casteel - benefited financially from the frivolous lawsuit but that the State Bar of Texas and BODA are refusing to assemble a Panel so that I can proceed in Malpractice Lawsuits against the attorneys involved.
A bill introduced by Texas Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, which will work to prevent “frivolous” lawsuits, was passed by the House of Representatives Thursday with a 228-195 vote.
Congressman Smith indicates that he is in support of eliminating Frivolous Lawsuits: "The Lawsuit Abuse Reduction Act, which was introduced in July, “restores accountability to our legal system by imposing mandatory sanctions on attorneys who file worthless lawsuits,” Smith said in a statement.
“Lawsuit abuse is common in America because the lawyers who bring these frivolous cases have everything to gain and nothing to lose,” Smith said. “Lawyers can file meritless lawsuits, and defendants are faced with the choice of years of litigation, high court costs and attorneys’ fees or a settlement out of court. This is legalized extortion.”

In the next week, I will file a Consumer Complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is an independent federal agency that holds primary responsibility for regulating consumer protection with regard to financial products and services in the United States. The CFPB was created in 2011 after its conception was included as part of theDodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which passed as a response to the financial crisis of 2007–08 that played a significant role in creating the Great Recession and was signed into law by President Barack Obama.[3]

In mid-February, 2014, I received short letters from BODA indicating that no APPEAL would be granted. As before, BODA insists that I have NO MORE APPEAL RIGHTS. I will continue protesting to BODA until a panel is assembled and the attorneys each have the Right to defend themselves against the malpractice. After BODA provides those Rights, I will determine how I will proceed with my own Lawsuits.
In mid-January, 2014, I received short letters from the State Bar of Texas indicating that BODA will review my Appeals.
I Have Submitted my Grievances again to the State Bar of Texas in late 2013. I have attached the recent denial letters that I have appealed.
