Transferring a UBE Score

On February 15, 2022, the Supreme Court of Texas amended Rule 13 §1. Now, a UBE score of 270 or higher that was earned within 5 years of applying to Texas can be transferred, without any practice time requirement.

As amended, Rule 13 §1 now reads:

Rule  13 Applicants from Other Jurisdictions

§1 Exemption from the Texas Bar Examination Based on a Transferred Uniform Bar Examination Score   

An Applicant who has earned a score of at least 270 on the Uniform Bar Examination in another State must meet the requirements  imposed on any other Applicant under these Rules, except that the Applicant is exempt from the requirement of successfully completing the Texas Bar Examination if the Uniform Bar Examination score was earned within five years immediately preceding the filing of the Application.
