Without knowing more facts about the circumstances of the 'information' exchanged, we are not able to determine if a breach of privilege existed. For example, an attorney cannot knowingly let you lie under oath. In such a matter, the attorney is either obligated to advise the parties of the lie(s), or resign as your attorney.

So, if you truly believe that the attorney violated your confidence, your options as I see them, are:
1) File a grievance with the Texas State Bar, or
2) Consider malpractice litigation against him/her.
