34 Tex. Admin. Code § 67.13 - Conduct and Decorum
(a) Comportment.
Every Party, witness, and Authorized Representative shall comport himself in
all Proceedings, depositions, conferences, meetings and hearings with dignity,
courtesy, and respect for the Board, its designee, the Executive Director,
Examiners, and all other Parties, their Authorized Representatives, and
proceeding participants. Authorized Representatives shall observe and practice
the ethical behavior prescribed for attorneys by the "Texas Lawyers Creed" and
the "Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct"; provided, however, that
any Authorized Representative who is not licensed to practice law in the state
of Texas shall not, by these rules, engage in the unauthorized practice of law
as set forth in Government Code Chapter 81, Subchapter G.
(b) Compliance. Upon violation of subsection
(a) of this section, any Party, witness, or Authorized Representative may be
excluded by the Board, its designee, or the Examiner from any hearing for such
period and upon such conditions as are just, or may be subject to such other
just, reasonable, and lawful disciplinary action as the Board, its designee, or
the Examiner may prescribe. Any disciplinary action taken by the Examiner shall
be subject to review by the Board or its designee. The Examiner is not
authorized by these rules to assess monetary sanctions, attorney's fees, or
costs upon any Party or witness, and any provisions of the Texas Rules of Civil
Procedure relating to the award of monetary sanctions, attorney's fees, or
costs do not provide such authority to the Examiner.
