They added that this morning. I honestly thought nothing of it. I figured it was just another reminder to set up your Atlas account, but this one is worded differently and is way shorter and straight to the point compared to the rest.

Added that this morning. I took off Thursday, but may just leave at lunch if we get a confirmation tweet.

In recent years it's only been a business day, but BLE gets to do what they want I guess. :?

I'm still thinking Thursday, but yeah, this is torture.

So wonder if this is something similar where the list is there, and then it's just a set time that it's made publicly available?
The same thing happened in AZ when they released the February bar results. Someone hacked into the system and published the list early (only by a few hours)... but by the time they took the list back down it was pretty much too late, because the list had already been downloaded and shared by a ton of people.... if only someone would do that here!

When did this happen? Last February? I don't remember hearing about that happening.

Friend said that his year results got posted the week before and surprised everyone. I'm still thinking we'll get ours on Thursday but be prepared for anything people :shock:

I'm assuming others have received/will receive an email from the BLE entitled "July 2016 Texas Bar Examinees--Upcoming Grade Release." They restate the expected grade release is Friday, Nov. 4 and give the same instructions WRT your ATLAS account.

IMO this just reaffirms that we will not hear anything early. (But tx0910, I'm interested to hear in which year this happened to your friend).

Yep, 12:59 PM to be exact. Again, it says the results will be posted to our ATLAS account, gives the instructions on claiming/setting up your account, and restates the Nov. 4 release date (that we all know is likely Nov. 3).

Sent you a pm NolanRyan re: asking for time off.

Anyone else having flashbacks to everything they missed/could've done better on the exam? As Steve McCroskey said: "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking." :lol: :evil: :cry: :oops:

It happened this year (2016). It was only a few hours early, so it wasn't a huge deal.... well it wasn't a huge deal unless you are the one anxiously awaiting results. :lol:

Have to work Thursday, but just in case we haven't heard anything by Friday i'd like to ask off too. Mind sending me a pm as well re: best way to go about that?

if i don't pass, part of me wants to ask my firm to let me transfer to an office in CA (already licensed in CA) rather than retake the texas bar exam and have to work while studying a second time. currently debating how wise a decision that may be....
