- A lawyer (also called attorney, counsel, or counselor) is a licensed professional who advises and represents others in legal matters.
- Seven years of education following high school is typically required to obtain a law degree: four years of undergraduate school and three years of law school. Law schools generally require a bachelor's degree for admission. After graduating from a law school approved by the American Bar Association with a doctor of jurisprudence degree, candidates must then take the bar examination – a comprehensive test of knowledge in many areas of law. After passing this test, the person is licensed to practice law. In Texas, both applicants to law school and candidates for the bar exam are screened by the Texas Board of Law Examiners for qualifications and standards of moral character.

With more than 100,000 active members, the State Bar of Texas is one of the largest state bars in the United States.
