70	9	The Commercial Exception Precludes TCPA Application	Argues that even if Kassab reframes the claims as targeting his client solicitation, such activity falls within the commercial speech exception (§ 27.010(b)). Kassab is primarily engaged in selling legal services; his solicitation of Pohl's clients was commercial. Cites Miller Weisbrod (attorney advertising within commercial exception) and NCDR v. Mauze (5th Cir.). Notes Kassab himself argued for the commercial exception in Brumfield litigation. Also argues Kassab's filing of barratry lawsuits implicates his clients' protected rights, not his own, and even those filings and the grievance fall within the commercial exception as litigation tactics.
