## Opinion text

ONION, Presiding Judge,
concurring.
I reluctantly concur in the result reached by the majority opinion. I would, however, point out that I do not consider relator’s conduct and statements to be ethical or proper. Relator’s actions were undignified and discourteous conduct which was demeaning to the tribunal before whom he was appearing as an attorney and officer of the court. See DR 7-106(C)(6), Code of Professional Responsibility — Title 14 App.; Art. 12, § 8, p. 353, Vol. 1A, V.A.C.S.
I concur.
ODOM and TOM G. DAVIS, JJ., join in this concurrence as well as in the majority opinion.
