(Travis County, Texas)

ORDER OF RECIPROCAL DISCIPLINE
This matter is before the Court pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 25, upon a
Notice of Submission filed by the Board of Professional Responsibility (âBoardâ)
consisting of a certified copy of the Agreed Judgment of Probated Suspension (Judgment)
by the State Bar of Texas, entered August 30, 2017, suspending William N. Hulsey, III,
from the practice of law for thirty (30) months, with the suspension being fully probated,
beginning September 1, 2017, and ending February 28, 2020. Mr. Hulsey is subject to
certain terms and conditions as specifically set forth in the certified Judgment.
A Notice of Reciprocal Discipline was entered November 15, 2017, directing Mr.
Hulsey to inform this Court, within thirty (30) days of service of the Notice, of any claim
predicated upon the grounds set forth in Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 25.4, that the imposition of
the identical discipline in Tennessee is unwarranted and the reasons therefor. This Court
has received no response to the Notice of Submission within the time provided by Tenn.
Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 25.4.
After careful consideration of the record in this matter, the Court finds, based upon
the particular facts of this case, that none of the elements in Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 25.4,
exist. Accordingly, it is appropriate to enter an Order of Reciprocal Discipline imposing
the identical discipline.
IT IS, THEREFORE, CONSIDERED, ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND
DECREED BY THE COURT THAT:
(1) William N. Hulsey, III, shall be suspended from the practice of law for
thirty (30) months, with the suspension being fully probated, beginning
September 1, 2017, and ending February 28, 2020, as imposed by the
Agreed Judgment of Probated Suspension entered August 30, 2017, by the
State Bar of Texas.
(2) Mr. Hulsey shall fully comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the
certified Agreed Judgment of Probated Suspension.
(3) Pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 31.3, Mr. Hulsey shall pay to the Board
of Professional Responsibility the expenses and costs of this matter in the
amount of $40.00 and shall pay to the Clerk of this Court the costs incurred
herein, within ninety (90) days of the entry of this Order, for all of which
execution may issue if necessary.
(4) Mr. Hulsey shall comply in all aspects with Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, §§ 28 and
30.4, regarding the obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys
placed upon probation.
(5) Pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 28.1, this Order shall be effective upon
entry.
(6) The Board of Professional Responsibility shall cause notice of this
discipline to be published as required by Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 28.11.
PER CURIAM
