Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

The Dallas Bar Association is a nonprofit corporation chartered by the State of Texas to protect and advance the professional interests of persons licensed to practice law in the Dallas area, to improve the relations between the Bench, the Bar, and the Public, and to advance cordial communication among lawyers.

  • Continuing Legal Education -Daily luncheon clinic programs and online hybrid and virtual meetings featuring discussions on special topics by experts in each field; monthly continuing education programs held by each of the 32 sections.

    Expenses $584,234

  • Membership Dues and Assessments - The annual dues paid to the Association by its members are its primary source of support.

    Expenses $536,552

  • Lawyer Referral Service - The referral service assists the general public by providing a means by which any person who can afford to pay a reasonable fee for legal services may be informed of and referred to a member of the Association's Lawyer Referral Service panel.

    Expenses $227,640

  • Miscellaneous -Various expenses are paid by the Association to generally further bar purposes.

    Expenses $103,725

  • Addressing Services - The Association sells a list of names and addresses of its members only to persons or groups who are (1)running for a political office for which membership in the legal profession is a prerequisite or (2)law firms (comprised of lawyers who are members of the Association) that wish to make professional announcements, provided the content of the announcement is approved by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Association.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
