Harris County Trustee Eric Dick Under Fire for Legal Misconduct. Again.

2025 has started bad for Houston attorney Eric Dick. It just got worse. I’m seriously beginning to feel sorry for the dude.

Over the last few months Harris County Department of Education Trustee and insurance attorney, Eric Dick, has been sanctioned by a judge in Harris County for $137,000 and sanctioned by a judge in Galveston County for another $125,000. He is being investigated in Maui for soliciting clients. Dick was fined $40,000 by the Texas Ethics Commission. A formal complaint was filed against him as a HCDE Trustee. A judge recently questioned the signature of a dead inspector on documents submitted to the court by Dick. Another judge in San Antonio dismissed a suit against USAA because Dick claimed his client had died. (He didn’t) His wife filed for divorce. And he was charged with assault of a family member.

And it just got worse. A home owner, Thuan Pham, has filed suit against Dick for filing a suit against an insurance company without his consent or knowledge. According to the original petition, Pham hired a roofer to repair damage to his home back in 2020. The roofer referred this claim to Eric Dick, an insurance lawyer. Pham was unaware that Dick was representing him against the insurance company. Dick eventually filed suit against the company without authorization by Pham. It gets worse.

Two years later Dick received an award from the appraisal process and deposited the check into the law firms account. The petition claims Pham’s signature was forged. Dick eventually filed a nonsuit on behalf of Pham. In 2024 Pham learned of the suit and the award and has filed suit against Dick.

This is truly some crazy shit. You can read the entire petition here.
