Re: No. 15-0205; In the Supreme Court of Texas; In re David Dow vs. The Texas Court
of Criminal Appeals
Dear Mr. Hawthorne,
After reading David Dow’s petition and supporting evidence, the undersigned attorneys
respectfully request our names be added to the list of lawyers who join in its request for relief.
As members of the bar, we have a duty to stand against injustice. What the Court of
Criminal Appeals has done to David Dow is a personal injustice, and an institutional wrong done
to those least able to stand up for themselves, indigents. In these economic times, a systemic attack
on lawyers who work pro bono to ensure that all Americans have equal access to the court system
is disturbing.
We agree with Judge Alcala that the decision regarding Mr. Dow is: “unwise, excessive,
unjust to victims, and chilling to defendants and other attorneys.” The decision was wrong.
Texas needs David Dow to continue his work representing those who have nowhere else
to turn and providing the bar with an example of what it means to be a lawyer-servant. Mr. Dow
is the type of lawyer we should all aspire to be.
We are honored to add our names to support Mr. Dow’s petition, and urge the Supreme
Court to return Mr. Dow to his essential work.
Sincerely,
/s/ Jimmy Williamson /s/Cyndi Moss Rusnak /s/ Ross A. Sears, II /s/ Michael Kerensky
