MCLE extension available for Texas lawyers affected by Harvey

State Bar of Texas members affected by Hurricane Harvey may request an extension of time for compliance with MCLE requirements.

MCLE Rules and Regulations allow extensions of up to 90 days in cases of “good cause,” such as extraordinary hardship or extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the member. If you need an extension, you can either:

• email your request to mcle@texasbar.com;
• fax it to (512) 427-4423; or
• mail it to MCLE Dept. P.O. Box 13007, Austin, Texas, 78711-3007.

Your request should include your name and bar number and should briefly outline the extent of your hardship or extenuating circumstances.

To view your current MCLE status online, log in to your My Bar Page and then click on the link to “View/Report MCLE Hours.”

Please contact the State Bar MCLE Department at (800) 204-2222, ext. 1806 if you have questions about extension requests or MCLE compliance requirements.
