PROPOSALS FOR CONSIDERATION

Proposal One – Election of Directors

At the annual meeting, you will be asked to elect a board of seven directors. The nominees for director are: Donald R. Brattain; J. Luther King, Jr.; John S. Marr, Jr.; G. Stuart Reeves; Michael D. Richards; Dustin R. Womble; and John M. Yeaman. Each of the nominees currently serves on our board of directors.

You may withhold authority to vote for any nominee by entering his name in the space provided on the proxy card.

Our board of directors unanimously recommends that the stockholders voteFOR each of the nominees for director.

Proposal Two – Amendment to the Stock Option Plan

At the annual meeting, you will also be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to amend the Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock subject to the plan from 7,500,000 to 8,500,000. The proposed amendment to the plan is intended to enable us to provide additional incentives to selected key employees whose substantial contributions are important to our continued growth and profitability. Currently, there are only 53,461 shares of our common stock available for option grants under the existing plan. Copies of the Stock Option Plan are available upon written request.

Purpose of the Stock Option Plan. Stock options are designed to strengthen the commitment of selected key employees, directors, and consultants, to motivate those individuals to perform their assigned responsibilities diligently and skillfully, and to attract and retain competent entrepreneurial-type management dedicated to our long-term growth and profitability. We believe this can best be accomplished by tying a portion of compensation to appreciation in the market value of our common stock so that the management and key employees, non-employee directors, and consultants are rewarded only if the value of your investment in our common stock has appreciated.

Description of the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan is designed to permit the appropriate administering committee to grant options to key employees, directors, and consultants to purchase shares of our common stock. The plan requires that the purchase price under each stock option will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock at the time of the grant of the option. The fair market value per share is the reported closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the grant of the option, or if no sale has been reported on such date, on the next preceding day or the last day prior to the date of grant when the sale was reported. The option period may not be more than ten years from the date the option is granted. Except with respect to options granted to officers and directors, the Executive Committee grants options to eligible individuals, determines the purchase price and option period at the time the option is granted, and administers and interprets the plan. The Compensation Committee grants options and administers the plan with respect to officers, and our board of directors, as a whole, grants options and administers the plan with respect to directors. Options may be exercised in annual installments as specified by the administering committee or, if applicable, our board of directors. All installments that become exercisable are cumulative and may be exercised at any time after they become exercisable until expiration of the option. The Stock Option Plan contains provisions governing “Changes of Control”, as defined therein, including accelerated vesting of options under certain circumstances.

The exercise price of options is paid in cash or by check at the time of exercise or, if approved, by the tender of shares of our common stock, or through a combination thereof; provided that such shares either: (i) have been owned by the optionee for more than six months and have been “paid for” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933; or (ii) were obtained by the optionee in the public market (“Qualifying Shares”). If the option is exercised by tendering Qualifying Shares, the number of shares tendered shall be determined by the fair market value per share on the date of the exercise, as determined by us. An option agreement may also provide that the exercise price may be paid through the cashless exercise method whereby the optionee authorizes a broker designated by us to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock to be acquired by the optionee on the exercise of the option, having a then fair market value equal to the sum of the exercise price of the option, plus any transaction costs. The remainder of the shares not sold will be delivered to the optionee. Shares of common stock deliverable upon exercise of the options may be transferred from treasury or issued from authorized but unissued shares.

The Stock Option Plan will terminate on May 11, 2010, and no options may thereafter be granted under the plan. Our board of directors may amend, alter, or discontinue the plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. However, we will obtain shareholder approval for any amendment to the plan to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with applicable law. The administering committee may also make appropriate adjustments in the number of shares covered by the plan, the number of shares subject to outstanding options, and the option prices to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, share combination, or other recapitalization and, with respect to outstanding options and option prices, to reflect any merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or similar transaction.

Incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options may be granted under the plan to our key employees. Key employees are defined in the plan to be those employees whose performance and responsibilities are determined to have a direct and significant effect on our success. Non-employee directors, as well as consultants, are eligible for the grant of nonqualified stock options. Additional options may be granted to persons to whom options have previously been granted. There is no restriction in the plan on the maximum or minimum number of shares covered by options that may be granted to any person.

Incentive stock options are options that meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and nonqualified stock options are options that do not meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. No incentive stock option, however, may be granted under the Stock Option Plan to an employee who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of securities unless the option price is at least 110% of the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant and the option is not exercisable more than five years after it is granted. There is no limit on the fair market value of incentive stock options that may be granted to an employee in any calendar year, but no employee may be granted incentive stock options that first become exercisable during a calendar year for the purchase of stock with an aggregate fair market value

(determined as of the date of grant of each option) in excess of $100,000. An incentive stock option (or an installment thereof) counts against the annual limitation only in the year it first becomes exercisable.

The appropriate administering committee may provide for the termination of options in case of termination of employment, directorship, consultant relationship, dishonesty, or any other reason the appropriate committee determines. If an option expires or terminates before it has been exercised in full, the shares of common stock allocable to the unexercised portion of that option may be made the subject of future grants of options. Upon termination of the employment, directorship, or consultant relationship of an optionee, his or her option is exercisable for a period of 30 days after termination, and thereafter the option terminates. If the optionee dies or becomes disabled before the termination of his right to exercise his or her option, the legal representatives of the estate, or the optionee in the event of his disability, may exercise his or her option provided the option is exercised prior to the date of expiration of the option period or one year from the date of the optionee’s death or disability, whichever first occurs, and the option may be exercised only as to those shares the optionee could have purchased under the option on the date of death, disability or other termination. Options may not be transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during the lifetime of the optionee, may be exercised only by him.

Tax Status of Options. An optionee has no taxable income, and we are not entitled to a deduction, at the time of the grant of an option. All stock options that qualify under the rules of Section 422 of the Code will be entitled to “incentive stock option” treatment. To receive incentive stock option treatment, an optionee must not dispose of the acquired stock within two years after the option is granted and within one year after the exercise. In addition, the individual must have been an employee for the entire time from the date of granting of the option until three months (one year if the employee is disabled) before the date of the exercise. The requirement that the individual be an employee and the two-year and one-year holding periods are waived in the case of death of the employee. If all such requirements are met, then any gain upon sale of the stock will be entitled to capital gain treatment. The employee’s gain on exercise (the excess of the fair market value at the time of exercise over the exercise price) of an incentive stock option is a tax preference item and, accordingly, is included in the computation of alternative minimum taxable income, even though it is not included in taxable income for purposes of determining regular tax liability of an employee. Consequently, an optionee may be obligated to pay alternative minimum tax in the year he or she exercises an incentive stock option.

If an employee does not meet the two-year and one-year holding requirement (a “disqualifying disposition”), tax will be imposed at the time of sale of the stock. In such event, the employee’s gain on exercise of the incentive stock option will be compensation to him taxed as ordinary income rather than capital gain to the extent the fair market value of the acquired common stock on the date of exercise of the incentive stock option exceeds the aggregate exercise price paid for that common stock, and we will be entitled to a corresponding deduction at the time of sale. If the amount realized on the disqualifying disposition is less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise of the incentive stock option, the total amount includable in optionee’s gross income, and the amount deductible by us, will equal the excess of the amount realized on the disqualifying disposition over the exercise price.

An optionee, upon exercise of a nonqualified stock option that does not qualify as an incentive stock option, recognizes ordinary income in an amount equal to the gain on exercise. The exercise of a nonqualified stock option entitles us to a tax deduction in the same amount as is includable in the income of the optionee for the year in which the exercise occurred. Any gain or loss realized by an optionee on subsequent disposition of shares generally is a capital gain or loss and does not result in any tax deduction to us.

Different tax consequences may result from stock-for-stock exercises of options.

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY OF THE EFFECT OF THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX UPON PARTICIPANTS IN THE STOCK OPTION PLAN DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE, AND IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE PARTICIPANTS CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS FOR COUNSELING. MOREOVER, THE FOREGOING SUMMARY IS BASED UPON PRESENT FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE TAX TREATMENT UNDER FOREIGN, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW IS NOT COVERED IN THIS SUMMARY.

Our board of directors unanimously recommends that the stockholders voteFOR the amendment to the Stock Option Plan.

Proposal Three – Ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as Our Independent Auditors for Fiscal Year 2006

The Audit Committee has selected Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as our independent auditors for fiscal year 2006, subject to ratification by the stockholders. Ernst & Young LLP served as our independent auditors for fiscal years 2005 and 2004. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at the annual meeting. That representative will have an opportunity to make a statement, if desired, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

A copy of our Audit Committee Charter may be found on our Website,www.tylerworks.com.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to ~~review significant developments~~all of our directors, executive officers (including, without limitation, the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, and controller), and employees. The purpose of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is to promote:

	•		honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

	•		full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in our public communications and reports filed with the SEC;

Board Independence

Our board of directors has determined, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, that ~~affect~~each of the non-employee directors standing for re-election as director (Messrs. Brattain, King, Reeves, and Richards) has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us) and is “independent” within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange director independence standards, as currently in effect and as may be changed from time to time. As a result, if each of the nominees for director is elected at the annual meeting, our ~~business~~board of directors will be comprised of a majority of “independent” directors as required by the New York Stock Exchange. Furthermore, our board of directors has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and ~~to act on matters requiring~~Nominating and Governance Committee has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us) and is “independent” within the meaning of our director independence standards.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Luther King, Jr., current chairman and member of the Audit Committee, respectively, possesses the attributes necessary to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as set forth in Item 401(h) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures for Audit and Non-Audit Services

The Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve all of the audit and non-audit services performed by our independent auditors. The purpose of these pre-approval procedures is to ensure that the provision of services by our independent auditors does not impair their independence. Each year, the Audit Committee receives fee estimates from our independent auditors for each category of services to be performed by the independent auditors during the upcoming fiscal reporting year. These categories of services include Audit Services, Audit-Related Services, Tax Services, and All Other Services. Upon review of the types of services to be performed and the estimated fees related thereto, the Audit Committee will determine which services and fees should be pre-approved, which pre-approval will be in effect for a period of twelve months. The Audit Committee may periodically review the list of pre-approved services based on subsequent determinations. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or delegated member of the Audit Committee) prior to the performance of such service. Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or delegated member of the Audit Committee).

Director Nominating Process

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing and interviewing qualified candidates to serve on our board of directors and to select both “independent” as well as management nominees for director to be elected by our stockholders at each annual meeting. The Nominating and Governance Committee is comprised solely of independent directors and operates under a Charter for the Nominating and Governance Committee.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines include the criteria our board of directors believes are important in the selection of director nominees, which includes the following qualifications:

	•		sound personal and professional integrity;

	•		an inquiring and independent mind;

	•		practical wisdom and mature judgment;

	•		broad training and experience at the policy-making level of business, finance and accounting, government, education, or technology;

	•		expertise that is useful to Tyler and complementary to the background and experience of other board members, so that an optimal balance of board members can be achieved and maintained;

	•		willingness to devote the required time to carrying out the duties and responsibilities of board membership;

	•		commitment to serve on the board for several years to develop knowledge about our business;

	•		willingness to represent the best interests of all stockholders and objectively appraise management performance; and

	•		involvement only in activities or interests that do not conflict with the director’s responsibilities to Tyler or our stockholders.

The Nominating and Governance Committee may, in the exercise of its discretion, actively solicit nominee candidates; however, nominee recommendations submitted by other directors or stockholders will also be considered as described below.

The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider qualified nominees recommended by stockholders who may submit recommendations to the committee in care of our Corporate Secretary at our corporate headquarters, 5949 Sherry Lane, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75225. To be considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee, stockholder nominations must be submitted in accordance with our bylaws and must be accompanied by a description of the qualifications of the proposed candidate and a written statement from the proposed candidate that he or she is willing to be nominated and desires to serve, if elected. Nominees for director who are recommended by our stockholders will be evaluated in the same manner as any other nominee for director.

Nominations by stockholders may also be made at an annual meeting of stockholders in the manner provided in our bylaws. Our bylaws require that a stockholder entitled to vote for the election of directors may make nominations of persons for election to our board at a meeting of stockholders by complying with required notice procedures. Nominations must be received at our corporate headquarters not less than 75 days or more than 85 days before any annual meeting of stockholders. If, however, notice or prior public disclosure of an annual meeting is given or made less than 75 days before the date of the annual meeting, the notice must be received no later than the 10^th day following the date of mailing of the notice of annual meeting or the date of public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting, whichever is earlier. The notice must specify the following:

as to each person the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director:

	•		the name, age, business address, and residence address of the person;

	•		the principal occupation or employment of the person;

	•		the class and number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by the person; and

	•		any other information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act; and

as to the stockholder giving notice:

	•		the name and record address of the stockholder and any other stockholder known to be supporting the nominee; and

	•		the class and number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by the stockholder making the nomination and by any other supporting stockholders.

We may require that the proposed nominee furnish us with other information as we may reasonably request to assist us in determining the eligibility of the proposed nominee to serve as a director. At any meeting of

stockholders, the presiding officer may disregard the purported nomination of any person not made in compliance with these procedures.

Communications with Our Board of Directors

Any stockholder or interested party who wishes to communicate with our board of directors or any specific directors, including non-management directors may write to:

Board of Directors
Tyler Technologies, Inc.
5949 Sherry Lane, Suite 1400
Dallas, Texas 75225

Depending on the subject matter, management will:

	•		forward the communication to the director or directors to whom it is addressed (for example, if the communication received deals with our “whistleblower policy” found on our Website,www.tylerworks.com, including questions, concerns, or complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, and auditing matters, it will be forwarded by management to the Chairman of the Audit Committee for review);

	•		attempt to handle the inquiry directly (for example, if the communication is a request for information about us or our operations or it is a stock-related matter that does not appear to require direct attention by our board of directors); or

	•		not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature or if it relates to an improper or irrelevant topic.

At each meeting of our board of directors, our Chairman will present a summary of all communications received since the last meeting of the board of directors that were not forwarded and will make those communications available to any director on request.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings

Directors are not required to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. However, our board of directors typically holds a meeting immediately following the annual meeting of stockholders. Therefore, in most cases, all of our directors will be present at the annual meeting. All of our directors were present at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders.

Director Compensation

Each non-employee director receives an annual fee of $15,000, plus $1,000 for each board meeting and $500 for each committee meeting attended.

On May 19, 2005, the board approved discretionary stock option grants to Messrs. Brattain, King, Reeves, and Richards, our non-employee directors. Each received a grant of stock options to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock. Each of these option grants vests in equal installments on the first, second, and third anniversary of the date of grant and each has an exercise price of $6.14 per share, the quoted market price of our common stock on the date of grant.
