Deason and Koch Give $7 million to SMU Dedman Law for Criminal Justice Reform

Doug Deason, the son of ACS founder Darwin Deason, was 17 in 1979 when he held a party at a neighbor’s house while they were gone. Booze flowed. Music was loud. Cops were called. Deason was charged with felony burglary. A well-connected lawyer convinced prosecutors to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor, which was expunged a year later. Deason said a felony could have ruined his life.

On Tuesday, Deason donated $3.5 million to SMU Dedman School of Law to create a legal institute that conducts innovative research and educational outreach efforts designed to promote criminal justice reform. Charles Koch gave another $3.5 million for the effort. This article has full details.

Thousands of individuals and businesses across the globe received an email from Texas lawyer James T. Shelton with information about a subpoena for information.

  • P.S. — New State Bar President Launches Campaign to Fund Legal Aid for Low-Income Texans  - When speaking to fellow lawyers, Santos Vargas often asks them a question to illustrate a point. “How many of you could hire yourselves for a protracted legal dispute?” The point is that many people don’t have the financial means to hire a lawyer when faced with a legal problem, which is why the newly minted State Bar of Texas president is on a campaign to raise money for low-income Texans to access legal services. Vargas aims to raise $300,000, with July donations supporting victims of the recent Texas Hill Country flood.  July 11, 2025Krista Torralva
