The State Bar of Texas was the first bar association in the United States to create a separate division for paralegals. The Division was created on October 23, 1981, and charged with “enhancing legal assistants’ participation in the administration of justice, professional responsibility, and public service in cooperation with the State Bar.” The term legal assistants later was changed to "paralegals." The Division looks forward to fulfilling its mandate enthusiastically, energetically and professionally.
The Paralegal Division of the State Bar of Texas offers members merchandise to promote the paralegal profession and their membership of the Paralegal Division. www.txpd.org
