In re Annette R. Loyd

On July 6, 2011 the Board of Disciplinary Appeals revoked the probation of Fort Worth attorney Annette R. Loyd, 48, State Bar of Texas Card No. 16731100 and suspended her from the practice of law for 36 months, beginning July 6, 2011 and ending July 6, 2014. On or about March 23, 2011 the District 7-2 State Bar of Texas grievance committee signed a default judgment of partially probated suspension against Loyd. The default judgment found that Loyd committed professional misconduct by violating Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct 1.01(b)(2), 1.03(a) and 8.04(a)(8) and suspended her from the practice of law for 37 months with the last 36 months of the suspension, beginning May 1, 2011 and ending on April 30, 2014, probated on certain terms and conditions. The Board of Disciplinary Appeals found that Loyd materially violated the terms and conditions of the default judgment of probated suspension, including practicing law while actively suspended and by failing to notify clients of her suspension.
