The Texas module, written for the TEE.
Texas runs its own bar exam — the Texas Essay Examination (TEE) — a two-day exam under the Texas Board of Law Examiners and the Texas Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Texas (Tex. R. Gov. Bar). Day 1 carries the TEE essay (AM) and the Tex. R. Civ. P. / Tex. R. Evid. / Tex. Code Crim. Proc. MC (PM); Day 2 carries the 200-question multistate MBE. The Barstudyprep Texas module is a $249 one-time pass (early-purchase through Nov 1, then $499) to the TEE essay outline, the TX-only MC drill, the TX overlay on the MBE bank, and the TX-paced study guides — all anchored to Tex. Bus. Org. Code, Tex. Estates Code, Tex. Fam. Code §3.001, Tex. Property Code + oil & gas, and the Tex. R. Civ. P. / Tex. R. Evid. weighting.

TX jurisdiction framing
A four-code statute framing of the TEE.
Texas is a common-law jurisdiction, but the TEE reads from a four-code statute stack rather than from judicial precedent first. Authoritative source comes before doctrine: Tex. Bus. Org. Code citations, Tex. Estates Code citations, Tex. Fam. Code §3.001 community-property framing, and Tex. Property Code (+ oil & gas mineral estates) — closer to a civil-code exam register than a common-law one. The module frames the TEE the same way: source-first, then rule, then the multistate analogue if there is one.
Three-part TEE overview
What the TX Bar Examination actually asks.
The TEE is a two-day exam. Day 1: the Texas Essay Examination in the morning (1 essay, 90 minutes, anchored to the four-code doctrine overlay + the heavily-tested Tex. R. Civ. P. / Tex. R. Evid. wedge) and the TX-only multiple choice in the afternoon (~100 questions on Tex. R. Civ. P., Tex. R. Evid., Tex. Code Crim. Proc., and Tex. R. Gov. Bar §12–§13). Day 2 morning: the 200-question multistate MBE. The three cards below open the matching follow-on page in the module.

TEE administration
How the Texas Bar Examination is administered — and what every candidate has to clear.
The four administrative facts every Texas candidate should know before sitting. Sourced to the Texas Board of Law Examiners (BLE) and the Texas Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Texas (Tex. R. Gov. Bar). This is the statutory ground the module is written on top of, not a sales pitch.
01 · administrator
Texas Board of Law Examiners (BLE)
Bar admission is administered by the Texas Board of Law Examiners acting under the authority of the Supreme Court of Texas and the Texas Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Texas, Rule §3. The BLE processes applications, sets the TEE, and certifies admissions.
02 · eligibility
JD + the Tex. R. Gov. Bar §13 §12 pathways
A juris doctor from an ABA-approved law school is required (Tex. R. Gov. Bar §13.1), paired with ten-year disclosure under Tex. R. Gov. Bar §12. The alternative pathway under Tex. R. Gov. Bar §13.2 — four years of law office study under the GAP LSAT / pre-law study rules — sits beside the JD pathway. The BLE expects applicants to volunteer adverse information timely; late disclosure extends the timeline.
03 · the bar exam
Two-day TEE, Feb & July, under the BLE
Day 1 AM: one TEE essay (90 min). Day 1 PM: ~100 TX-only multiple choice (90 min) on Tex. R. Civ. P., Tex. R. Evid., Tex. Code Crim. Proc., and Tex. R. Gov. Bar §12–§13. Day 2 AM: 200-question MBE (6 hrs, two 3-hour sessions). The BLE administers the TEE February / July; scoring at 70%+ scaled essay and a weighted-day blend.
04 · MPRE + Character & Fitness + CLE
MPRE ≥ 85 + Tex. R. Gov. Bar §12 C&F + post-admission CLE
The MPRE scaled ≥ 85 within 10 years of bar application filing under NCBE certification and on file before the BLE application. The C&F investigation is administered by the BLE under Tex. R. Gov. Bar §12. Post-admission CLE is the 15-hour / year biennium (incl. 3 hours ethics) under Tex. R. Gov. Bar §6.

Texas module · FAQ
The four questions Texas candidates ask us.
These are the questions the Texas candidates ask before purchase — what the four pieces cover, the TEE-vs-MBE overlap drift, when the next BLE cycle lands, and where the free preview ends and the Stripe-gated purchase surface begins.
What four pieces make up the Texas module, and how does it differ from a generic UBE prep?
Four slices: the TEE essay outline (Day 1 AM under Tex. Bus. Org. Code / Tex. Estates Code / Tex. Fam. Code §3.001 / Tex. Property Code with the four-citation Tex. R. Civ. P. / Tex. R. Evid. drill), the Texas-tuned MC bank (Day 1 PM — ~100 TX-only questions grounded in Tex. R. Civ. P. / Tex. R. Evid. / Tex. Code Crim. Proc. / Tex. R. Gov. Bar §12–§13), a 200-question Day 2 AM MBE bank with the TX overlay where the multistate rule diverges, and the study-guide library paired with the MPT workspace anchored to TX District Court civil / Tex. Estates Code probate / Tex. Fam. Code chapter 153 conservatorship libraries. What the Texas module adds above a generic UBE prep is the four-code TX-special doctrine overlay on every piece, taught for the Feb / July two-day TEE administration under the Texas Board of Law Examiners (BLE) and the Texas Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Texas (Tex. R. Gov. Bar).
How does the Texas Bar Examination scoring blend work, and what is the NextGen-overlap drift candidate should know?
The TEE blends three sessions: the Day 1 AM TEE essay (1 essay, 90 minutes), the Day 1 PM TX-only MC (~100 questions on Tex. R. Civ. P. / Tex. R. Evid. / Tex. Code Crim. Proc. / Tex. R. Gov. Bar §12–§13), and the Day 2 AM MBE (200 questions in two 3-hour sessions). The NextGen drift candidate should know: TX writes TEE + Day 1 PM Tex. R. Civ. P./Tex. R. Evid. weighting + Day 2 AM MBE — i.e. the TEE keeps a TX-special overlay on the multistate baseline, so a candidate drilling only NCBE-published MBE material will miss the four-code doctrine overlay (Tex. Bus. Org. Code / Tex. Estates Code / Tex. Fam. Code §3.001 / Tex. Property Code) that grounds one-third of the TEE essay prompts and the Tex. R. Civ. P. anchor on every Day 1 PM question.
When is the next TEE administered, and how does the Feb / July cycle anchor the module?
The TEE runs twice a year under the Texas Board of Law Examiners — the February cycle (~2027-02-23/24) and the July cycle (~2027-07-27/28). The BLE posts the application window about four months ahead and the late-filing fees climb sharply after the priority deadline. The Barstudyprep Texas module runs a 3-month cycle anchored to that Feb or July exam window — extend the 13-week TEE calendar against either anchor, with the recovery-day rules protecting the final-week hold for the TEE administration under Tex. R. Gov. Bar §13.
What does the $499 Texas-module access pass include, and how does the preview at /texas differ from the purchase surface?
The $249 early-purchase (regular $499) access pass unlocks the TEE essay outline, the TX-only MC bank, the 200-question MBE bank with the four-code TX overlay, the MPT workspace anchored to Tex. R. Civ. P. / Tex. Estates Code / Tex. Fam. Code chapter 153 / Tex. Bus. Org. Code libraries, the strategic study-guide library, and the 13-week TEE-paced study calendar. The /texas preview is fully free and has every public surface (the hero, the four-piece TEE overview, the TX administration, and the $249 CTA). The /module/texas purchase surface is where the access-pass checkout lives — that route is gated on Stripe checkout and unlocks the full module bundle the moment the payment clears.
