Texas Saloon- Feb. 2016 Texas Bar Forum

[tealeaf23]

Did it happen a couple of days before, or just the day before?

I'm not 100% sure since I didn't check until that Wednesday :/ But I don't remember seeing anything in the July 2015 thread about error messages until the day before

[gadfish333]

Error message is back

[longhornlaw]

Hmm, I'm getting the error message now on the eFast page.

[bluesplitter]

Yup,...getting error message as well....

My odds of grades release today percentage of likelyhood has gone from 5% to 15%.


The only reason that the odds are so low is because of the "limited staff" due to construction notice....meaning there will not br enough staff to handle the people calling in wanting info on their personal fate .....just a guess

Also getting the error message. I'm (trying) to hold off on thinking too much about it since Justice Willett hasn't said anything. Ahhh

[murdock83]

I'm not holding my breath, though I'm hopeful. I'd like to know today so I can sulk or celebrate over the weekend.

yeah... but some states release at midnight, or at 5 pm when their office is closed... I see no reason why having limited staff to answer questions immediately would make result distribution less likely. I assumed it was not having the right people to do all the uploading and sending out of results. But all this website work...

But still. Willett. I have faith in his insider knowledge. *sigh*

Sameeee. Also and probably irrelevant- the error message is gone now.

[texasbarexaminee15]

For whatever its worth, I was able to log in and I'm NOT receiving any error message on Efast. I just see the same "complete your. . ." blue links.

Great. The perpetual state of anxiety is in full force.

[bluesplitter]

Agree on the above analysis.....and "But. Willett." Point.....


Ok....welp...there is definitely something or someone doing something......

JUST TELL US TODAY BLE. STOP BEING ASSHOLES AND TORTURING US.

[kellyfrost]

I did not take the Texas bar exam, but I know others who have and I have been reading these threads long enough to know that you shouldn't start worrying or checking for scores online until Justice Willett starts tweeting. He likes to have fun with this. He is going to tweet about the results being released throughout the morning before they are released, so until you see him start posting, I wouldn't be checking your online access and needlessly worrying.

He knows when they are coming out and he is going to comment about it. If he hasn't said anything, nothing is coming.

I would also fully endorse following him on Twitter as well. He posts funny and insightful things. I don't know him, but I am guessing from his Twitter posts that he is a really nice, cool guy, and has a fun personality. I hope he becomes the first Supreme Court Justice who starts live tweeting from the bench, maybe even during oral arguments.

[I will also add, but can't confirm this, there has been speculation that Justice Willett reads the Texas Bar Exam threads on this site in the moments before the scores are released]

The error message is back. My heart can't take this. I think I'm going to ban myself from that website for a while, at least until tweets indicate otherwise

[washed out]

The Justice seems media-savvy and understands the language of youths, so I wouldn't be surprised if he lurks the one thread populated by February TX Bar examinees on one of the most popular discussion boards for bar examination discussion.

[bluesplitter]

Give us a sign Justice!!!

[longhornlaw]

Could be worse, gang. California's results don't come out until May 13th.

[sluj11]

I feel like we're waiting for white smoke from the Vatican.

[txbarexamineme]

First, I too am waiting on results (first-timer). Second, I have very limited faith in Willett's "insider" knowledge and accuracy of the release time. Do an advanced search on Twitter. He's only tweeted the release times 4 times (that I can find), maybe 5 at best. With that we can conclude he doesn't exactly have strong precedent of when they will be released, he's simply the mine canary with hours-out notice. When he does tweet the upcoming release, it generally occurs about 2 to 5 hours prior to the release on the same day. So, I am still holding my breath for today because Willett has twice tweeted in the afternoon of the day of the release. From what I've compiled using date-ranged searches, it seems the results (typically) come out between 3pm - 5pm (it has been later in the evening, but mostly for July exam). Granted, these are merely predictions, but there is some support to back them. Ultimately, if not today I hold no feeling of a weekend release and Monday it is. However, I think (speculation, no support here) that the "limited" office staff is intentional and they will release today as to avoid having to answer the phones of (possibly) disgruntled, emotional soon-to-be retakers. Essentially, release today and it'll give people the weekend to evaluate their results and to not make any rash, emotionally-charged calls to the BLE, who, at this time will be unable to answer today. Hope this runs true.

[tootiredtolaw]

I'm just glad I found this thread...now I don't have to freak out alone!

[Hey You Yes You]

It would be a cruel punishment to not let us have the weekend to celebrate or mourn the results. BLE should know this!

They know, but do they care?

Whoooaa! Easy now.

I've been practicing law over 35 years and am waiting for some bar exam grades for some folks I know. My experience has been that the BLE not only doesn't care about you guys enough to release the grades on Friday, they most likely relish in having you twist and squirm all weekend. I pray for all of you that I'm wrong...
