Thomas McHugh didn’t just betray me as my attorney.
He betrayed the entire legal profession — and the Texas State Bar let it happen.
When I first filed a bar complaint against McHugh, he responded with a sworn affidavit claiming he had no idea there was any conflict of interest in my case.
But I now have a DOJ letter, signed by former AUSA Gregory Surovics and addressed directly to McHugh, showing he was told — in writing — about the conflict more than a year before trial.
So let’s be clear:
McHugh lied under oath.
And the Bar used that lie to dismiss the complaint.
Now I’ve come back with the evidence they chose to ignore.
The DOJ letter.
The paper trail.
And a sworn declaration from me documenting exactly what McHugh said to my face while I was still in custody:
“I know someone at the Bar.”
He said it before I ever filed a complaint.
And now I know why.
This isn’t just about a conflict of interest anymore.
It’s about a legal system that protects its own — and a disciplinary system that took a false affidavit at face value.
I’m putting the Bar on notice again — and this time, I’m doing it in public.
