Sara E. Dysart, P.C.
Sara E. Dysart is a graduate of St. Mary’s University (BA magna cum laude & JD with distinction) and UTSA (MA). Sara is a sole practitioner who practices commercial real estate law.
She is a director of the Texas Bar College, Chair of the Fellows of the Texas Bar Foundation, and Treasurer of the Real Estate Probate & Trust Law Section of the State Bar of Texas. She has served as Chair of the SBOT Real Estate Forms Committee, Trustee of the Texas Bar Foundation, Director of the SBOT, Co-Chair of the 2015 SBOT Annual Meeting, President of St. Mary’s Law Alumni Association, and Chair of the San Antonio Bar Foundation. Sara is a member of the Board of Directors of Broadway Bank. She serves on the Board of Trustees for St. Mary’s University and Incarnate Word High School.
Sara is Board Certified in Commercial Real Estate Law. She currently serves on the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and the TBLS Real Estate Law Advisory Commission. She is a fellow of the American College of Real Estate Lawyers.
An advocate for TexasBarCLE programs, Sara has served as course director for Advanced Real Estate Law, Advanced Real Estate Drafting, Advanced Real Estate Strategies, and Texas Bar College Annual Summer School. She is a frequent author and presenter.
While Sara has served in numerous capacities with local bar associations and the State Bar, a continuing theme of her service is her commitment to continuing legal education. During her 44-year legal career, she has authored over 40 continuing legal education papers and presented them to Texas lawyers, usually several times each.
Sara’s decision to join the Texas Bar College is not surprising. Her participation as a planner and presenter for CLE courses reflects the purpose of the Texas Bar College, “to ensure that every active member of the State Bar of Texas pursues a plan of continuing legal education throughout his or her career in order to remain current on the law in our rapidly changing society.”
Sara’s commitment to continuing legal education is demonstrated by her decision to take the Texas Board of Legal Specialization Exam in Commercial Real Estate Law in October 2013 as a 32-year attorney. She had previously applied and been approved twice for this specialization, but both times declined to take the exam because her active legal practice had prevented her from studying. So why did she apply one more time and actually take the test? Because she was told by other Board Certified attorneys that she deserved this designation and that she should go for it. Further, she looked at the statistics and saw the small percentage of attorneys who were Board Certified in Commercial Real Estate Law. She wanted to join this elite group of Texas attorneys. After passing the Board Certification exam, the first sentence on Sara’s resume became “Board Certified in Commercial Real Estate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.”
Being a member of the Texas Bar College and seeking certification in an area of legal specialization are two ways Texas attorneys can not only distinguish themselves; but also, “walk the walk” of an attorney committed “to a plan of continuing legal education throughout his or her career in order to remain current on the law in a rapidly changing society.”♦
