Would someone from Texas be licensed to take a case in Missouri?
I see a lot of this kind of question on this board. Any attorney anywhere can be retained by any client anywhere. I advise and work for clients all the time in states and countries where I am not admitted. What I can't do is appear in court in most of those jurisdictions without a local attorney to basically stand next to me or move to have me admitted pro hac vice (for this case). There really isn't any limitation on who can hire any attorney to advise them. We can all review the law of any jurisdiction and act accordingly.
That said, I have no idea whether this "person from Texas" is an attorney, or even whether there is any such person...
