Hello all,

What address did the email from last week come from? I feel like I might have missed it.

Hello all,

What address did the email from last week come from? I feel like I might have missed it.

Mine came from ble@mail.capnet.state.tx.us

Hi all,

So glad I found this forum. My classmate and I are from Dallas originally but went to school in NC, moved back and took the TBE. We were literally on the same flight down the Friday before the exam. We sat in Arlington.

Anywho, we're now both glued to the site in hopeless "refresh" button mode. I personally have been stalking twitter/IG/FB searching for the term "texas bar exam." I saw on FB that it looks like at least two people already know based on congratulatory posts from family/friends...must be nice. We're all in this together...except those two .

Sidenote, I called the BLE mid-Oct and my analyst told me they mail letters out Oct. 29, which is why they requested change of addresses to be rec'd by then. But given mail transit time and even the weather, I still dont have my letter. Any thoughts??

I am 99% positive that nobody knows their results yet. I would guess that those congratulatory posts were erroneous. And what kind of letters are you saying they mailed out last week?

[ProceedwithFaith]

The last comm. from BLE stated results were released 3 ways : 1) efile, 2) public post and 3) mail.
So from what my analyst stated when I talked to her, letters were mailed oct. 29 which is why they stated in an earlier comm. that change of address needed to be rec'd by then i.e. "Fax any address change immediately to the Board’s office at 512-463-5300. Address changes received after October 29, 2015 may not be processed by the grade release date."

Who knows though? Its all smoke and mirrors at this point.

[TBEgavemeIIED]

The email we received on Oct 27th said letters would be mailed out on the day results were released.

"We will mail a hardcopy of your grade release documents to you on the day of they are released, to the address you have on file with us."

They might print the letters and seal the envelopes on the 29th, so they need proper addresses by that date. I also doubt anyone has their results yet, but hey, who really knows?

[ProceedwithFaith]

Yeah, i'm glad you said that bc I thought about that too as far as them holding the physical letters until nov.6 and then mailing them out but i asked my analyst several times "so what you're saying is letters are mailed out oct.29?" and she said yes so either she just said yes to get me off the phone, she didn't know (doubtful), or she somehow misunderstood me. My classmate was standing right by me when I called making sure I asked of the exact date.

Bottom line. I give up. This is true torture. I'm just going to rely on the public pass list like everyone else...

[Stevoman]

Guys just relax. I'm going as crazy as everyone else, but posting here, chattering about it nonstop, and constantly hitting F5 won't do anything except raise our blood pressure. Go outside and enjoy this cool front or something.

I already have a job, JD preferred gig. So the results don't really matter now. Guess I'm interested in the results still, just not worried at all now!

I do as well, but I still really care about my bar passage. Being a licensed attorney will help me with my current job and who knows I'll probably practice at some point

Exactly. I'm in the same position, and REALLY don't want to ever go through the studying and test taking thing ever again. Studying and working full time is no fun...

I might not even look at the results for a week or so. I mean its useless to me, so why bother with it.

No way I'll be able to hold off for a week. Plus I'm sure my family will be nagging me about it.

[tealeaf23]

This may be the most neurotic thing I've ever said, but I was going back through the thread and remembered that I didn't get the email about making sure my name was spelled right back when others did. Hoping this is not an omen

Relax. Have a glass of wine. And, enjoy the last remaining hours.

Oh I'm looking. I need to put a period on this chapter of my life....

I have it on good authority that no one has their results yet.

Can you guys log onto your efast account or do you just get an error message now?

I get an error message

[googlyeyes1990]

So I logged into efast this morning and everything was fine. Now when I try logging in it loads then gets to the main page and says an error has occurred. Does anyone else have this?

[googlyeyes1990]

does this mean...does this mean what I think it does?

Thx. I've reached peak neuroticism. I hope my poor little heart can make it through this.

[googlyeyes1990]

It's ok, I just walked into my second-in-command's office and explained the situation and told her I'd be abandoning the pleading I'm working on to just click the refresh button all day.

edit: the error message is gone

lol...I tried to explain it to my boss and team members but they told me stop spasing out...lol....but they haven't been in this situation to understand.

last night I went and had a molten chocolate lava cake for dinner....actually I cried into it...alcohol will be starting tomorrow night regardless of what the results are....
