Get Our App!

 
The section maintains a free App called “Texas Legal” available to Computer & Technology Section Members. To access the content, download the app and login using your State Bar Credentials (the same login for TexasBar.com.)

Once in the app, you can download the Texas or Federal statutes, codes, and rules that you use every day! You can also download all of them if you want!
