Please read carefully. In addition to a bar examination, there are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to the bar in every U.S. jurisdiction. Applicants are encouraged to determine the requirements for any jurisdiction in which they intend to seek admission by contacting the jurisdiction. Addresses for all relevant agencies are available through the National Conference of Bar Examiners.

Because of the high ethical standards to which lawyers are held, failing to disclose an act or event such as the ones described below is often more significant and leads to more serious consequences than the act or event itself. Failing to provide truthful answers or to inform the Admissions Office of any changes to your answers may result in the revocation of admission or disciplinary action by Texas Tech Law or denial of permission to practice law by the state in which you seek admission.

Although affirmative answers to the questions below may not necessarily preclude admission to Texas Tech Law, persons who have been convicted of more serious criminal offenses may have difficulty in gaining admission to the bar. State licensing agencies often require you to include your law school application as part of your application for admission to the bar, and the bar admissions process often includes a full criminal background check. Any discrepancies between your law school application and the results of that check could jeopardize your ability to be admitted to practice law.

1. Have you ever been disciplined in any way for any matter by any college, university, law school, or other institution of higher learning, or by any professor, administrator, employee or entity representing any college, university, law school or other institution of higher learning, or have you been allowed to withdraw from such an institution to avoid such discipline, whether or not the record of such action was retained in your file? (Please note even if an action/warning/violation/fine/sanction/etc. was dismissed, it still needs to be disclosed.)(Discipline includes, without limitation, a letter or other written notice of reprimand or warning, suspension, expulsion, adjustment of grade, assignment of community service, any form of probation, or any other adverse action).(Entity includes, without limitation, residential facilities or other facilities owned or managed by a college, university, law school or other institution of higher learning.) If so, please explain below. If additional space is required, please provide a separate attachment.

Are you currently under investigation or subject to pending disciplinary action at any postsecondary institution for conduct involving violence, sexual assault or sexual misconduct, including but not limited to harassment, stalking, or relationship violence? If so, please explain below. If additional space is required, please provide a separate attachment.
Have you ever been: arrested, cited or ticketed, charged with any violation of the law; or have you ever been convicted of an offense, placed on probation, granted deferred adjudication or any type of pretrial diversion? Even if a ticket/arrest/violation/citation/charge/etc. is dismissed, it still needs to be disclosed

You must report:

Any such offenses involving alcohol or drugs.
Any failure to appear conviction resulting from any offense.
Any conviction for failure to maintain financial responsibility (legally required auto insurance).

An applicant does not need to disclose information about a juvenile or criminal record that has been sealed or expunged; however, it is up to each applicant to ensure that their offense is in fact expunged and sealed under the relevant state law. It is recommended that you obtain a copy of the Court Order expunging or sealing the record in question. If an applicant fails to disclose information that is not in fact expunged or sealed, the applicant may be subject to disciplinary action. If so, please explain below. If additional space is required, please provide a separate attachment.

You may exclude only Class C misdemeanor traffic violations.

Are there any charges pending against you which, if you were convicted, would require you to answer "yes" to the previous question? If so, please explain below. If additional space is required, please provide a separate attachment.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. If, after submitting this application, you are disciplined by a postsecondary institution described above or convicted of an offense, placed on probation, or granted deferred adjudication or any type of pretrial diversion that would require you to answer 'Yes' to the previous questions, you must inform Texas Tech Law immediately. You must also attach a statement providing complete details. Answering 'Yes' to this item indicates you acknowledge this obligation and agree to comply with it.
