Why Become a Participating Attorney

Fellow Texan, We’re glad you’re here!

Created in 1972 by the State Bar of Texas, Texas Legal is a non-profit Texas-based legal benefit organization providing quality and affordable resources to help Texans resolve everyday legal matters. Texas Legal works similarly to a health care plan, except there are no co-pays or deductibles. Our members choose a Participating Attorney from an experienced panel that fits their legal needs. Participating Attorneys bill Texas Legal directly for covered services and in turn Texas Legal issues compensation directly to the Participating Attorney. Texas Legal serves to help people protect their families, finances, and futures.

Our mission directly serves the greater mission of the State Bar of Texas. Texas Legal has partnered with attorneys based in the Lone Star State for over 50 years, and provides Texas attorneys with a valuable opportunity to address their responsibility to the State of Texas and the needs of Texans.
