Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Becoming an Attorney

I want to become an attorney but I am on felony Deferred probation for burglary of a habitation. I have only got reprimanded by the courts for non-payment but I am hoping to get early termination or a reduction in check-ins by the end of next year and will be off of probation by the time i finish school and take my bar exam (2013) . But I dont want to go that far then be told I cant be an attorney because of my record. I am a paralegal now and have been since I finished school after I got out of jail.

Your best option would be to contact the State Bar in Austin to determine if you would still be qualified.
