The service is closed on legal holidays.

(1-800-252-9690) or
1-877-9TEXBAR (Toll Free)

Here's how it works

  1. Call 1-800-252-9690 or 1-877-9TEXBAR (toll free). Your call will be answered by a referral information specialist who will need your name and phone number. You will be asked in which county you need a lawyer and to briefly state your problem. Remember, the information specialist is not a lawyer and cannot give legal advice.
  2. The Lawyer Referral Service staff member will give you the name and phone number of an attorney. When you call the attorney to schedule a meeting, please tell them that you were referred by the State Bar of Texas.
  3. Your 30 minutes of legal consultation will cost you $20. After the initial half-hour, it is up to you and the attorney to negotiate fees if you decide to authorize the lawyer to take action on your legal problem.
  4. How to work with your lawyer and save money. (click here)
