The Supreme Court of Texas has amended the IOLTA rules to require Texas attorneys to place their IOLTA accounts at eligible institutions—those that pay interest rates on IOLTA comparable to rates paid on similarly situated, non-IOLTA accounts. More than 500 banks in Texas are eligible to hold IOLTA funds.

Prime Partners

The following financial institutions are Prime Partners -- institutions that go above and beyond eligibility requirements to foster the IOLTA Program. These institutions pay a net yield of 70 percent or more of the Federal Funds Target Rate. They are committed to ensuring the success of the IOLTA program and increased funding for legal aid.

Eligible Financial Institutions

Eligible Institutions are financial institutions that meet the standards of the eligibility requirement as defined by IOLTA Rule 7 (Complete IOLTA Rules). These banks strengthen the IOLTA Program, thereby generating more funds for legal aid.

See the complete list of Eligible Financial institutions.

The Texas Access to Justice Foundation will contact attorneys who will be required to move their IOLTA accounts (if their financial institutions choose not to pursue eligibility).
