Cantu’s disbarment was overturned by a 2-1 vote of the Thirteenth Court of Appeals in Corpus Christi. Cantu was disbarred for allegedly failing to disclose “significant assets” during his bankruptcy proceedings.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Marvin Isgur testified he had negative feelings toward Cantu. A dissenting judge said Isgur’s observations served as the “basis for the allegations, and his testimony was needed to help jurors decide whether Cantu violated disciplinary rules,’ according to information from the story.
