Lawyer Sentenced in Austin Travis County for Lewd Gesture

AUSTIN — An Austin defense attorney serving 90 days for making a lewd gesture in court will not spend the entire time in jail.

Adam Reposa will be released Feb. 12 and allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence at home and as part of a work release program.

Senior State District Judge Paul Davis on Wednesday also ordered Reposa to attend all medical appointments with his pregnant girlfriend.

Several judges testified as character witnesses for Reposa, condemning his March 2008 gesture simulating masturbation before County Court-at-Law Judge Jan Breland while representing a client. Breland found Reposa in contempt of court, a finding that Davis affirmed.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals rejected appeals for Reposa.

Reposa, who said the gesture was meant toward a prosecutor, reported to jail Tuesday.

  1. Hello there! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about personal injury lawyers. I am glad to stop by your site and know more about personal injury lawyers. Keep it up! This is a good read. You have such an interesting and informative page. I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well.
    As with other types of lawyers, personal injury lawyers may choose to start a solo practice or join a small, mid-size, or large law firm as an associate. Personal injury lawyers may also be partners (owners) of a law firm or strive to be a partner.
    Keep a journal or diary of great detail regarding how your injuries and the pain is affecting your life and the lives of your family members. Include what medical treatment you are receiving, how it is working, and, if you are taking medications, how they are affecting you. Also detail your ability or inability to work, and how much time and income you have lost as a result of your injuries.
