What Are Sections?

“Any member in good standing of the State Bar of Texas, upon the payment of dues for the current year, shall be enrolled as a member of the section.” 

A section is comprised of lawyers who practice in similar legal specialties. Each section is designed to offer closer association between attorneys engaged in specialized fields of law, thus providing the opportunity to share professional experiences. 


How Much Are Dues?

Section dues are $25 per year.
