A public corporation whose funding sources include lawyers’ dues and continuing legal education program fees, the State Bar of Texas receives no appropriations from the State’s General Revenue Fund. The State Bar is subject to sunset review by the Legislature and successfully underwent that process for the fourth time in 2017.  \nThe State Bar of Texas had its beginning in 1882 when 300 lawyers and judges gathered in Galveston to form the Texas Bar Association. Desiring to establish a better vehicle through which attorneys would maintain the highest ethical standards, a bar committee began in 1927 to draft a bill that would unify the bar through legislation allowing further controls over standards of legal practice. The State Bar Act, which was adopted by the Legislature in 1939, mandated that all attorneys licensed to practice law in Texas be members of the State Bar.  \nORGANIZATION  \nThe State Bar of Texas is governed by a board of directors with 46 voting members who volunteer their time and expertise without compensation. The voting members include: three officers elected statewide by State Bar members (president, president-elect, and immediate past president);  \n30 attorneys elected from 17 geographical districts; six public (nonattorney) members appointed by the Supreme Court; four at-large directors appointed by the State Bar president; and three officers elected statewide by Texas Young Lawyers Association members (president, president-elect, and immediate past president) . The State Bar includes committees, boards, sections, and divisions that are run by more than 4,500 volunteers, both lawyers and non-lawyers. Their responsibilities include general oversight of the bar, providing assistance to local bar associations, developing continuing legal education programs for attorneys, educating the public about the rule of law, and administering the grievance system. The staff at the bar’s headquarters in Austin and in regional grievance offices in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio support the work of the volunteers.  \nTEXAS LAW CENTER  \nLocated in the Capitol Complex at 15th and Colorado streets in Austin, the Texas Law Center is the State Bar’s headquarters. It is near the Supreme Court Building and State Capitol. The Law Center also houses the Governor Bill and Vara Daniel Center for Legal History, which features changing displays of legal history.  \nMEMBERSHIP/NAME AND ADDRESS CHANGES  \nIt is important that attorneys keep the Membership Department informed of any changes of address, name, or phone number. Please notify this department at (800) 204-2222 or (512) 427-1383 immediately to eliminate misrouted mailings and phone calls.
