February bar results

There are 762 more lawyers now eligible to practice in the Lone Star State. The Texas Board of Law Examiners has released the results of the February bar exam. Those 762 people represent 71.08 percent of the 1,072 people who took the February exam for the first time or as a repeat exam, according to the Texas BLE. That's a little better than those who sweated through the test last February, with a 64.86 percent pass rate (705 of 1,087 test takers).
