TEXAS LAWYER SUSPENDED
On September 2, 2011, the Tennessee Supreme Court entered an Order of reciprocal discipline
suspending the Tennessee law license of Jimmy Vallejo Delgado for five (5) years, with two (2) years served as
active suspension and three (3) years served on probation subject to conditions imposed by the State Bar of
Texas.
The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a petition for reciprocal discipline with the Tennessee
Supreme Court after the State Bar of Texas entered an order finding that Mr. Delgado failed to hold settlement
funds in trust and failed to promptly notify and deliver settlement funds to his clients and to third parties with an
interest in the funds. The State Bar of Texas also found that Mr. Delgado failed to keep his clients reasonably
informed about the status of their legal matter.
Mr. Delgado was further ordered to comply fully with the conditions as imposed by the State Bar of
Texas, including payment of costs of the disciplinary proceeding, providing an accounting of funds received on
behalf of the client, hiring an accountant to review his accounts, providing reports of his accounts on a quarterly
basis, and complying with registration and continuing legal education requirements.
Mr. Delgado must comply with Sections 18 and 19 of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9 regarding the
obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys. He must pay the Boardâs costs and expenses prior to
reinstatement to the practice of law.
