Colorado
I'm not sure if this is the right way to ask the following question, but:
We have a family member who applied/and passed the bar exam less than five years ago. He's been a lawyer during that time.
But he's planning to move to Texas in haste for personal reasons.
I remember hearing something about needing to stay in the same state (in Colorado) for at least five years after you pass the bar or you could screw up your right to practice law somehow. I know that if he wants to practice law in Texas he would have to take the bar exam again down there anyways. But once you pass the bar in Colorado, is there something that requires him to stick it out there for five years practicing law? If so, what sorta bad thing happens if he decides to leave before that five years is up?? Does he risk having to take the bar exam in Colorado again if he moves to Texas then decides he doesn't like it and comes back to CO? Any idea on what the five year thing is that I'm thinking about?? Jus curious. Our family is advising him before he makes some big mistake.
