Typically, access to the Texas Legal App is a benefit provided to members of the Computer & Technology Section of the State Bar of Texas. For a limited time, through June 30, 2020, the C & T Section is offering free access to the Texas Legal App for all Texas attorneys, paralegals, and law clerks. To become an authorized user of the app during this period, simply submit the enrollment form, available here. You will be asked to provide your name, an email address, your Bar number (or cell phone number if not a Bar member), and your area of practice. You will then be provided with links to the Web interface, the iOS app, and the Android app. You will also get login credentials to access the app itself. Once logged in, you will find a wealth of useful information and primary sources, including more than 62 civil codes and statutes. For a full list of the available resources, click here.
All content is keyword searchable and includes internal linking to other code sections available via the app. The app is also customizable, allowing you to create modules of content relevant to your practice area. Instructions for adding modules are provided in the C & T Texas Legal App how-to installation video available in the TechBytes library, which we wrote about for this blog in 2018. If you find content you wish to print and/or save as a PDF, the app will allow you to do that as well.
While we all continue to Stay Home and Work Safe, access to some traditional legal research resources may be limited. Take advantage of the Computer & Technology Section’s generous offer to share access to this valuable tool, the Texas Legal App, and consider joining the section to ensure the app’s continued availability. Also, remember that we at the Harris County Law Library are still providing services via our Virtual Reference Desk and new Chat Reference. Until we can see you again at the Law Library, stay in touch and informed using our remote services. We’re here to help!
