Why use the official Texas Bar source?

Broad legal lead scrapers often pull from marketing directories. Those sources can be useful, but they may duplicate listings or omit licensing context.

This Actor focuses on the State Bar of Texas public directory, so each result is tied back to an official public member profile URL. That makes it useful for workflows where source provenance, public status, and bar card numbers matter.

What public data can it extract?

The Actor extracts fields that are visible on public Texas Bar profile pages. Availability varies by attorney because some contact and firm details are self-reported.

How much does it cost to scrape Texas State Bar attorneys?

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: a small run-start event plus a per-result event for each saved attorney profile. Small test runs are inexpensive because you can cap maxItems.

Charge	When it applies	Price
Run start	Once per Actor run	$0.005
Attorney result	Each saved attorney profile, FREE tier	$0.00012117
Attorney result	Each saved attorney profile, BRONZE tier	$0.00010537
Attorney result	Each saved attorney profile, SILVER tier	$0.000082186
Attorney result	Each saved attorney profile, GOLD tier	$0.00006322
Attorney result	Each saved attorney profile, PLATINUM tier	$0.000042147
Attorney result	Each saved attorney profile, DIAMOND tier	$0.000029503

Free-plan estimate: the prefilled 20-result run costs about $0.0074 before any Apify platform credits or plan limits ($0.005 start + 20 × $0.00012117). A 100-result FREE-tier run costs about $0.0172.

For the first run, use the prefilled input with maxItems around 10–25. Increase the limit after you confirm the query returns the attorney segment you need.

Tips for better Texas Bar searches

• Use a city with a common surname to collect a local lead segment.
• Use a bar card number when you need one exact profile.
• Use firm name queries for organization-level research.
• Keep maxItems low while testing a new query.
• If the directory returns fewer profiles than requested, the source may simply have fewer matching public profiles.

Data quality notes

The State Bar of Texas displays a mix of official licensing fields and self-reported profile fields. Status, bar card number, license date, and profile URL come from the public Texas Bar page. Firm details, languages, payment options, phone, websites, and social links may be missing when the attorney has not provided them.

Limitations

• The Actor only extracts public data visible without logging in.
• It does not bypass authentication, CAPTCHA, or private member areas.
• It does not send emails through the Texas Bar contact form.
• Some profiles have limited contact information.
• Practice area filters require values used by the public Texas Bar form.

Legality

This Actor collects publicly available directory information. Use the results responsibly, respect applicable privacy, marketing, and professional conduct rules, and review the Texas Bar website terms before using data for outreach or compliance workflows.

FAQ

Why did my run return fewer attorneys than maxItems?

The public directory may have fewer matching profiles for your query. Try broadening the name, city, or firm fields.

Why are email addresses not shown directly?

The Texas Bar directory exposes an email contact form URL for many attorneys, not necessarily a raw email address. The Actor saves the public emailUrl when available.

Why are phone or firm website fields null?

Those fields are not present on every profile. Attorneys can choose not to publish some contact or firm details.
