Texas Attorney General Interview Questions
& Process

I got scheduled about two weeks out. No other communication before the interview. I sat at a table facing a panel of 3 people. They introduced themselves and then asked me a lot of questions. They were paying close attention to my hand movements, leg movements, and facial expressions. I was happy they had water on the table because it lasted about 45 minutes.

The interview process was quite relaxed. They started by asking me some competency-based questions related to the Assistant Attorney General I role, but I wasn't familiar with the specific law they mentioned. When I admitted I didn't know it, they explained it and then asked me to apply it to a given situation, which felt like basic law school material. They suggested that if you've passed the bar, you should be able to make an informed guess based on the information they provide. The interview itself was a panel with three interviewers: two lawyers and an office administrator. They took detailed notes and had a list of specific questions.

The interview was on Zoom, which was fine. They had some connection issues for the first 10 minutes, making the interview longer. They didn't ask any questions related to my previous child support officer work in another state; all questions were generic and basic. I'm not sure why I wasn't selected because I enjoyed my career as a child support officer before moving and did very well due to my passion for the mission.

Applied online and got an email requesting supplemental materials like a writing sample. A few days later, I had a Zoom interview with HR and the Department Head. The following week, there was a second Zoom interview with the division managers. I heard back via email about four weeks after that.
