HB 5104 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to membership in and fees collected by the State Bar of Texas and to disciplinary procedures for licensed attorneys.

HB 5104 amends Texas Government Code provisions to update how the Texas Supreme Court handles rulemaking for the State Bar of Texas. It requires the Supreme Court to mail proposed rules to State Bar members and licensed attorneys at least 60 days before they take effect, include a 60-day public comment period, and report all rules to the legislature by December 1 each year. The bill focuses on improving transparency and legislative oversight in the rulemaking process for attorneys. These changes apply directly to the State Bar of Texas, licensed attorneys, and the Texas legislature.
