DEMETRIUS J. DAVIS v. Commn'n for Lawyer Discipline

On December 10, 2010, the Board of Disciplinary Appeals dismissed for want of prosecution the appeal of McAllen attorney Demetrius J. Davis, 49, State Bar of Texas Card No. 24029274, from a judgment of partially probated suspension signed by the Evidentiary Panel for the State Bar of Texas District 10-1 grievance committee in Case No. S0120821285 and A0090811933 on May 3, 2010. The Board found that Davis did not file the reporter’s record or a brief. The Board issued an Order to Show Cause to Davis on November 10, 2010, giving him 30 days to respond and show cause as to why the appeal should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. Davis did not respond.
