Honesty and integrity are key elements of reputation. Though we lack data on how the public, attorneys, court personnel, or judges in Texas feel about each others' honesty and ethical standards, we can learn much from their judgments about other groups and institutions. Based on a 1998 survey of the attitudes of Texas attorneys, court personnel, and judges, these groups have little regard for the news media and the U.S. Congress. Only eleven, seven, and ten percent of each group respectively agree that the media is very or somewhat honest and ethical. The numbers are only slightly better for Congress: thirteen percent of attorneys, twenty-six percent of court personnel, and nineteen percent of Texas judges deem Congress very or somewhat honest and ethical. All groups, particulary judges, hold Texas courts in higher regard than Congress or the news media. Eighty percent of judges deem Texas courts very or somewhat honest and ethical but skepticism about the honesty and ethics of the Texas courts reigns among sizable pluralities of attorneys (forty-six percent) and court personnel (forty-four percent). Sixty-nine percent of the public, however, believes in the honesty and ethics of Texas courts. Texas court personnel also were notably more skeptical of the integrity of the U.S. Supreme Court--even before its decision in Bush v. Gore which decided the 2000 presidential election for Bush. Only fifty-four percent of them believed in its honesty and ethics compared with eighty-five percent of attornies and eighty-one percent of Texas judges.
