An appeals court issued a ruling on the matter Wednesday.

Sidney Powell, a lawyer who filed lawsuits after the 2020 election, got a win in Texas after an appeals court ruled that the Texas bar did not prove that she engaged in misconduct or fraud.

A panel of judges on the Fifth District of Texas Court of Appeals in Dallas ruled Wednesday that the state barโ€™s arguments lacked merit and evidence. They found that state bar prosecutors โ€œemployed a โ€™scattershot’ approach to the caseโ€ that had alleged Ms. Powell did not have a reasonable basis to file lawsuits that challenged the 2020 electionโ€™s outcome in battleground states.

โ€œThe Bar employed a โ€˜scattershotโ€™ approach to the case, which left this court and the trial court โ€˜with the task of sorting through the argument to determine what issue ha[d] actually been raised,’โ€ Justice Dennise Garcia wrote in the courtโ€™s ruling. โ€œHaving done so, the absence of competent summary judgment compels our conclusion that the Bar failed to meet its summary judgment burden.โ€

A separate court had sided with Ms. Powell in the case last year, finding โ€œnumerous defectsโ€ in the evidence presented by the State Bar of Texas Commission for Lawyer Discipline. The court also found that the bar couldnโ€™t provide evidence that she filed frivolous lawsuits.

โ€œUnder these circumstances and on this record, we conclude the trial court did not err in granting Powellโ€™s no-evidence motion for summary judgment,โ€ the appeals court wrote.

The State Bar of Texas Commission for Lawyer Discipline has not yet issued a statement on the matter. A representative for the Texas State Bar told Reuters that the commission would meet to determine its next steps but declined to comment further.

โ€œThe Dallas Court of Appeals has affirmed the Texas state courtโ€™s dismissal of the Texas Barโ€™s case against Powell. After three years of litigation, the Court of Appeals held the Bar had no evidence Powell violated any disciplinary rule in filing four federal lawsuits in the aftermath of the 2020 election,โ€ she said in a statement this week after the courtโ€™s decision.
