LAPTOP APPLICATION FORM FOR THE TEXAS BAR EXAMINATION (TBE) Applicant Name: ________________________________________Social Security Number: _________________________ Mailing Address: _____________________________________________________________________________________ Street Address/P.O. Box Apt. No City State Zip Code Email Address: _______________________________________________Telephone Number: _________________________________ I agree to the following: 1. I will not be considered for laptop testing unless I complete, sign and date this Laptop Application form, and submit this original simultaneously with my fully completed Texas Bar Exam (TBE) application and applicable Board fees. 2. A $50 laptop fee payment to the Board must be included with this form, along with my TBE application and other application fees. This payment does not include the vendor costs or licensing fees for required test security software. 3. Laptop testing may not be offered at every location; I can be assigned to a laptop exam site that is not my first or second choice site. If assigned to a laptop test center, I will be solely responsible for my expenses for my computer and for my travel or lodging, if any. 4. Merely submitting applications and fees will not complete the steps necessary to take my exam on my laptop computer. 5. Fees paid to the Board do not include any software costs or software licensing fees. I will have a duty to pay a designated software vendor; to provide and maintain correct, up-to-date contact information; to monitor my mail and e-mail for instructions and notices from the Board and the software vendor; and to follow all other instructions to use exam security software on the TBE. 6. Even if I have previously installed or have used the same (or similar) software for law school exams or other bar exams, I will have a duty to pay the designated software vendor (and follow the vendor's installation and registration instructions) to use the software on the bar exam for which I am now applying. 7. I will not purchase or register the exam security software for the TBE before being notified by the Board to do so. 8. I will not be assigned to a laptop exam site (and may be transferred to another site) if I do not fulfill my duty to: a. Timely comply with all notices and instructions for purchasing, installing, registering and/or preparing the designated security software for the laptop computer that I will be using to take the TBE; and b. Promptly update the Board in writing of changes to my e-mail address, physical address, or telephone number. 9. I have a duty before the exam to ensure that my laptop computer is in proper working condition, that it meets or exceeds minimum requirements on the test dates, and that I have had experience with the computer and software (Texas Bar edition), including the software vendor's mock or practice exams. 10. I understand that I am not required to use a computer to take the TBE, that I may handwrite the exam, that there may be little or no technical assistance at the exam site, and that, at the sole discretion of the site administrator at the exam site, I may at any time be required to handwrite any or all written parts of the exam. 11. Laptop enrollment will be limited and the Board shall have complete discretion to determine the examinees assigned to the laptop exam site(s), to limit the number of participants as it sees fit, to change minimum computer system requirements and/or to cancel the laptop testing program at any time. 12. If I have a disability that substantially impairs my ability to handwrite all or part of the TBE or take it under standard timing and conditions, then I must file a properly completed Rule XII(b) testing accommodation application now with my bar exam application, or else I will be deemed to have waived the right to a disability accommodation if I am not assigned to a laptop exam site or I am instructed to handwrite my exam. Without timely submission and prior Board approval of a testing accommodation application, the Board will not be expected to make any disability accommodations. 13. In no event will I hold the Board, its officers, directors, employees, contractors or affiliates liable to me for any damages arising from the use of the exam security software or participation in the laptop program, including any loss of exam time or loss of an exam answer or any effect it may have on the outcome of the exam. I also understand and agree that if I withdraw, fees are not refundable or transferable to a future exam. I have read and accepted each term above, as demonstrated by my signature below. Applicant Signature: Date Signed: 10/25/2010
