FAQ
You can not transfer a bar exam score from California to another jurisdiction, because California is not a UBE state and has no reciprocity agreements. However, certain jurisdictions may let you waive in following a certain period of time.
Lawyers are allowed to provide services in another state if they will not be going to courts, such as arbitration and mediation. Out-of-state lawyers can also represent clients in another state if they will be working with a local lawyer. This is allowed under the “pro hac vice” process.
There is no bar reciprocity in California, though the state does offer a modified bar exam to those who have actively practiced law for at least four years immediately preceding their bar application.
Texas's additional reciprocity requirements include: Law Degree. A law degree from an ABA approved law school (determined at the time of enrollment or graduation and not at a later date). Character and Fitness.
Answer: No. Texas does not have reciprocity with any state.
Not really. A California-licensed attorney may be granted temporary permission to practice law in another state for a specific case through pro hac vice admission. Be careful, however, pro hac vice practice has its limitations.
Unfortunately you cannot. California has its own bar exam and is not part of the Uniform Bar Exam which Texas and DC are part of. Now if you take the Uniform Bar (Google which states are part of it) then you can transfer to another state, but each state has its own minimum score and character and fitness requirements.
