The Harris County District Attorney's Office said Thursday that a tip led to 44-year-old Perry Mason. He allegedly tried to solicit former jail inmates for legal services.
DA's spokeswoman Donna Hawkins told The Associated Press that Mason, who is not an attorney, was arrested Tuesday.
Hawkins declined to release the name of the attorney associated with Mason, who was freed Wednesday on $5,000 bail. Penalty for the third-degree felony is 2-10 years in prison.
Hawkins had no record of a lawyer representing Mason.
