HB 2624 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the licensing and regulation of certain legal paraprofessionals; requiring an occupational license; imposing fees.

HB 2624 creates a licensing system requiring legal paraprofessionals in Texas to obtain a state license and pay associated fees. It sets eligibility requirements including being 18 years old, holding a high school diploma or equivalent, and meeting qualifications like holding a paralegal certificate. The bill establishes disciplinary procedures under the Supreme Court for licensed paraprofessionals working in specific legal specialties. This affects individuals seeking to practice as legal paraprofessionals in Texas who would now need state licensure to work in defined specialty areas.
