Committees

The Tarrant County Bar Association has over 40 programs and committees that address the needs of lawyers in Tarrant County. Additionally, it has a number of programs that provide attorneys in the county opportunities to help the local community in general. These programs have won recognition and awards from the State Bar of Texas and community organizations time and time again.


The committees depend upon the active participation of the members of the Tarrant County Bar to be successful. Serving on a committee not only helps to keep Bar activities meaningful, but offers a great way to network with other attorneys in the area, and provides an opportunity for Tarrant County lawyers to become involved in their profession and community.
