““A communication cannot be considered as privileged because made in professional confidence, unless the person to whom it is made is acting for the time being in the character of legal adviser of the person who makes it. The communication must also be made for the purpose of obtaining professional advice or aid in the matter to which the communication relates.” Flack’s Adm’r v. Neill, 26 Tex. 273 .”
