How Texas Attorney license verification works

A Attorney in Texas is licensed by the TX State Bar / Supreme Court attorney roll. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.

Fields returned for this board: bar_number name honorific status status_detail license_date practice_location firm occupation law_school courts_of_admittance discipline_tx discipline_other_states.

Board note: tx_bar live 2026-11-04 (plain httpx, ColdFusion/iMIS Find a Lawyer). BarCardNumber search exact incl. leading zeros; no DOB so name-only >1 card = ambiguous_match; 99999999 is a placeholder record on the site

`name`	Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
`license_type`	The record is a Attorney license, strictly (no near-miss types)
`status`	The board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag
