What is a Board Certified Attorney?

A Board Certified attorney is an attorney who has demonstrated special competence in a particular field and whose competence has been certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

The Texas Board of Legal Specialization was created by the Supreme Court of Texas, and the Board members are appointed by the President of the State Bar of Texas. The Board, in turn, administers the program through which an attorney may demonstrate special competence in a particular area of law practice.

The Texas Board of Legal Specialization operates under the authority of the Supreme Court of Texas. This program is entirely funded by fees and other charges imposed on attorneys participating in the program.
