Apparently nothing. Mine changed a couple weeks ago, and the SC says its just administrative.

[ilikebaseball]

Mine changed on 2/5. I don't think it means anything.

Anyone know anything about their TFA scholarship? I got a small dean's scholarship but I was wondering if I was still eligible for it. And if so, what was the amount?

Thank you for the insight!

So I went onto the admitted students page, and it lists something called "Declaration of intent to practice law in Texas" is due in June. Why would they want that?

That doesn't sound right, unless they have some summer starters... and even then that's only for summer starters in a quarter system. If you start law school in the fall, the declaration deadline is October 1. http://www.ble.state.tx.us/

It definitely says October 1 for the intent to practice law. It says a registration commitment is due June 1.

oh okay, that's right. But what does that mean? lol I don't really understand why you'd declare, during 1L, your intent to stay in Texas and I don't see any of my other schools telling me to do so.

[BVest]

For students in Texas who intend to practice Texas, the Declaration of Intention allows for pre-screening of C&F issues, without having to wait until your 3L or even later for the Board of Law Examiners to tell you they're not going to license you. On the flip side, it allows them to get a large number of their investigations out of the way so they don't have 2500 investigations that they have to complete in the less-than 180 days before bar apps are due and the bar exam is administered.

If you file a Declaration during your 1L, then your application for the bar exam that you file during 3L consists of just employers, residences, and C&F issues from law school. If you don't file one, your app for the bar exam is the whole kit and kaboodle, and may delay your admission to the bar while they complete the investigation.

Oh okay, so it makes the process a little more smoother in 3L I guess? If you sign your intent to practice in Texas, doesn't this make other options in DC, for example, impossible? Or is this just INTENT to practice, and not forcing you
