What are CLE Credits?

Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits are mandatory requirements for attorneys to maintain their professional licenses and stay current with the ever-evolving legal landscape.

CLE programs serve as a critical tool for legal professionals to sharpen their skills, uphold ethical and professional standards, and keep pace with new laws, regulations, and legal precedents that shape the practice of law.

Texas CLE Requirements

Understanding your compliance obligations as a Texas-licensed attorney

Who Needs CLE?

All active Texas-licensed attorneys must complete CLE credits each compliance year to maintain their license, unless they qualify for an exemption.

Exemptions include attorneys who are:

  • On inactive status for the entire compliance year
  • Not practicing law in Texas and have claimed the MCLE Non-Practicing Exemption
  • Full-time or part-time faculty at ABA-approved law schools (ethics requirement still applies)

Newly licensed attorneys are not exempt. Their first compliance period runs 24 months instead of 12.

Your compliance year is tied to your birth month. Report completed hours to the State Bar of Texas to avoid penalties and maintain active status.

How Many Credits?

Texas attorneys must complete the following each compliance year:

15 hours total
At least 12 must be accredited CLE
3 hours
Legal ethics or professional responsibility
Up to 3 hours
May be self-study, including up to 1 ethics hour

Your compliance year runs from your birth month to the following year's birth month.

Reporting and Compliance

Attorneys must report CLE credits to the State Bar of Texas or risk penalties, including noncompliance fees and potential license suspension. For the most accurate and up-to-date requirements, please visit the State Bar of Texas MCLE information.
