Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Texas

Re: Publishing correspondence online

I know you will probably dislike a typical conditional response that starts off with "it depends" but, it depends! For example, a letter from an attorney, if its your attorney, is a privileged communication - which is to say, the attorney expects it will only be between you and him/her. If you divulge it to others, then the privilege protecting it from the knowledge of others is waived (forfeited) and it becomes open hunting season for the general public. For a company, it depends on whether it was a confidential communication. If the company reasonably expected it to remain a confidential communication, and you told others about it, the company may be able to sue you. So, you see, it really does depend on what the communication is and what the expectations of privacy are for the one sending it. Hope this helps.
