Texas Board of Law Examiners

In-State Student Application to take the Texas Bar Exam

Requirement to provide LSAC Account Number

Use this application only if your J.D. degree was (or will be) awarded by an ABA-approved Texas law school  and you have not been licensed to practice law in another jurisdiction.  Do not use this application if you have taken, or applied for, a previous Texas Bar Examination.

The Board of Law Examiners is pleased to provide eFast Direct (Electronic Forms Application Systems Tool).

It will be helpful for you to begin the process by reading the eFast Instructions and the Application Instructions. These instructions will assist and guide you as you complete your Application. After you have read the eFast Instructions and the Application Instructions, go to the appropriate eFast Direct link below.

If you are filing a Declaration of Intent to Study Law and an Instate Application simultaneously, please do not mail the forms separately. All forms and required documents should be mailed in one envelope to the Board of Law Examiners.  You may use one check to cover all fees. 

We hope that completing your Application through eFast Direct will be easy and quick! Please contact your Licensure Analyst at the Board’s office if you have any questions during the process.
