                TYLER TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES FINAL RESULTS OF ITS
                     MODIFIED "DUTCH AUCTION" TENDER OFFER


DALLAS, TEXAS, MAY 16, 2003 -- Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced
today the final results of its modified "Dutch Auction" tender offer, which
expired at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on May 12, 2003.

Consistent with the preliminary results announced on May 13, 2003, Tyler will
purchase 5,107,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per
share, or a total cost of $20,428,000. Based on the final count by EquiServe
Trust Company, N.A., the Depositary for the tender offer, 5,993,360 shares of
common stock were properly tendered and not withdrawn at prices at or below
$4.00 per share (including shares tendered by holders that indicated in their
Letter of Transmittal that such holders were willing to accept the price
determined in the tender offer).

The final results represent a proration factor equal to approximately 85%. In
accordance with the terms of the tender offer, proration for each stockholder
that properly tendered (and did not withdraw) shares will be the product of the
number of shares tendered by such stockholder multiplied by the proration
factor, subject to "odd lot" priority and conditional tenders. Payment for
shares validly tendered and accepted for purchase, and the return of all other
shares tendered but not accepted for payment, will be made promptly by EquiServe
Trust Company, N.A.

Including the shares that Tyler will purchase in the tender offer, Tyler will
have repurchased 7,482,200 shares of its common stock since August 16, 2002. As
a result of the completion of the tender offer, Tyler expects to have
approximately 40,267,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Subject to
applicable law, Tyler may, in the future, purchase additional shares of its
common stock, although Tyler and its affiliates are prohibited from repurchasing
shares until at least ten business days after May 12, 2003. The Tyler Board has
currently authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 1,017,800 shares of
Tyler's common stock.

Any questions with regard to the tender offer may be directed to Georgeson
Shareholder Communications, Inc., the Information Agent, at (800) 654-1865.
