I was reading the TEXAS DISCIPLINARY RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT from the Bar Association's web site when the attorney's client is an entity.

(1) an officer, employee, or other person associated with the organization has
committed or intends to commit a violation of a legal obligation to the organization or
a violation of law which reasonably might be imputed to the organization;
(2) the violation is likely to result in substantial injury to the organization; and
(3) the violation is related to a matter within the scope of the lawyer’s representation of
the organization.
So what was the motive and purpose to change By-Laws and lease common elements for less than fair value to to an insider of a Non-profit? The IRS and Texas Law clearly define what is permissible; therefore, it appears the HOA's attorney and the refering attorney must not have known Phase II was a Non-Profit and I'll be challenging with a grievance through the Texas Bar Association.
