354	48	C. Attorney Immunity	Attorney does not have right of recovery against another attorney for conduct in discharge of duties representing a party. Even criminal conduct is not categorically excepted. NEW: Taylor v. Tolbert (644 S.W.3d 637, Tex. 2022) held conduct prohibited by statute is subject to attorney immunity if statute does not expressly abrogate the defense. TUTSA does not expressly repudiate attorney immunity. Court of appeals in this case already characterized Kassab's conduct as arising from commercial transaction involving legal services (Kassab v. Pohl, 612 S.W.3d 571). Cites Bradt, Youngkin, Bethel, Cantey Hanger, Taylor, Haynes & Boone, Highland Capital, Clayton.
