In Texas, is legal software itself the practice of law?
Answered for: Texas
The definition in this section is not exclusive and does not deprive the judicial branch of the power and authority under both this chapter and the adjudicated cases to determine whether other services and acts not enumerated may constitute the practice of law. […] In this chapter, the "practice of law" does not include the design, creation, publication, distribution, display, or sale, including publication, distribution, display, or sale by means of an Internet web site, of written materials, books, forms, computer software, or similar products if the products clearly and conspicuously state that the products are not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. This subsection does not authorize the use of the products or similar media in violation of Chapter 83 and does not affect the applicability or enforceability of that chapter.
The Texas statute excludes computer software and web sites from the definition, on one condition it states expressly: the product must clearly and conspicuously say it is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. The same section adds that the definition 'is not exclusive', and the exclusion does not affect Chapter 83.
This answer is true in Texas and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Texas.
