Message from the Chair

Welcome to the website for the Public Utility Law Section (“PULS”) of the State Bar of Texas.  The purpose of the PULS is "to study and report on laws, decisions and governmental regulations affecting public utilities; to promote the fair and just administration of such laws and regulations; to study and report upon proposed legislation affecting public utilities; and to keep the members of the State Bar of Texas [so] advised. . . .”

This year, the PULS Council is planning the 2024 PULS Annual Meeting and Seminar, to be held on August 23, 2024, as well as other networking opportunities and CLE events for Section members. You can periodically check the 2024 events list on the PULS website home page for upcoming events.

Also, during April 1 through April 30, 2024, all members of the State Bar of Texas will be able to vote on a package of proposed revisions to the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. You can read more about the proposed rules on the Bar’s website.

Last year, we held the PULS Annual Meeting and Seminar on Friday, September 22, 2023.   At the Annual Meeting, the Section elected three new Council members and new officers.  Please see our 2023-24 council roster under About Us.

For PULS members who missed the 2023 Seminar, recorded videos of the sessions have been posted in our CLE Video Library, and CLE credit will be available until August 31, 2024.
