Facts: RM hired firm after his application for licensure was denied due to a recent arrest for DWI and two prior arrests for possession and DWI.

Firm provided a response regarding the recent and past arrests along with several character letters and a statement from RM regarding his ability to practice. Firm argued that under the code, an arrest could not be held against an applicant and shall not be a reason to deny licensure.

Outcome: After a hearing before TBCE, TBCE agreed to dismiss the matter and grant RM licensure.
