What is Texas policy on reciprocal admission or admission by comity?
Texas does not have a reciprocal agreement with any other jurisdiction. Out-of-state attorneys with at least five years of recent practice may pursue “Admission without Examination” under Rule XIII. Interested individuals should review the Board’s Attorney Admission page for U.S. licensed attorneys for more information. Texas attorneys who seek admission to another jurisdiction will have to contact the licensing agency for that jurisdiction. The National Conference of Bar Examiners provides contact information for all U.S. jurisdictions at http://www.ncbex.org/offices.
