BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 552.1176, Government Code, is amended by | ||
adding Subsection (d) to read as follows: | ||
(d) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), on the written request | ||
of a person sponsoring a legal education activity accredited by the | ||

Subsection (a) to notify a person licensed to practice law in this | ||
state of the accredited continuing legal education activity. | ||
Notification under this subsection may be by regular mail or e-mail | ||
as requested by the person sponsoring the continuing legal | ||
education activity. The state bar may charge the sponsoring person | ||
the actual costs incurred as a result of the notification. | ||
SECTION 2. This Act applies only to notification by the | ||
State Bar of Texas regarding an accredited continuing legal | ||
education activity that occurs on or after the effective date of | ||
this Act. Notification by the state bar of an accredited continuing | ||

that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||

Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2011. |
