I have a friend that went to Law School, passed, passed the bar exam, then was refused a law license based on an arrest over a decade ago. What was your interview process like after you passed the bar? Ever heard of anything like this? How stringent is Texas? (My friend was not even found guilty of charges, if I recall correctly, only arrested.)

The only way I can imagine this happening is if he was required to report it and failed to do so. There's no way he'd be denied admission just because of an arrest 10 years ago, so there has to be more to this story.

Well, there was some kind of red flag in that he knew there was an issue and actually my wife was a character witness for him on things. They said they felt he had not been "open enough" in the application process. His side is something along the lines of "I put it in the application, but apparently they wanted a lot more detail."
I should try to dig up his blog, which had some details in it i think.
