RUDESILL, RICHARD EUGENE BPR # 002972
September 12, 1979 County:Williamson District:6
Disbarred by order entered September 12, 1979 as a result of three charges. In the Baxter matter,
he purchased 52 acres which previously belonged to an incompetent. Prior to being given a deed
and prior to having paid for same in full, he sold certain portions of the property to others
representing the property was clear and failed to apply the proceeds to the lien notes. Certain
purported partial releases were put to record by Rudesill or his agent which allowed him to sell
these portions of the property when, in fact, the releases were forgeries. He willfully and
knowingly practiced a fraud upon the Court and the people who purchase property from him. In
the Walker matter, he advised a client to encumber property owned by the client and client's
family for more than 30 years in the amount of $250,000 so that it could not be taken to satisfy
potential judgments of adverse parties. He prepared a fictitious Deed of Trust and Note for his
client, which was executed and recorded for the purpose of defrauding creditors. In the Hall
matter, he obtained a personal loan by leading the lender to believe that they had a first mortgage
on two tracts of real estate given as security; when, in fact, they only had a first mortgage on one
tract, which was unimproved, and a second mortgage on the improved tract.
