- Pro Bono Beacons: Recognizes the students in each Texas Law class who have donated the most hours of pro bono service.
- Pro Bono Torchbearers: Recognizes graduating students who have donated 100 or more hours of pro bono service.
- Pro Bono Honors: Recognizes graduating students who have fulfilled their Pro Bono Pledge.
