To Equiserve Trust Company, N.A.:

        The undersigned hereby tenders to Tyler Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Tyler"), the above-described shares of Tyler common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at the price per share indicated in this Letter of Transmittal, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 14, 2003, of Tyler, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal which, as amended and supplemented from time to time, together constitute the tender offer.

        Subject to and effective upon acceptance for payment of the shares tendered hereby in accordance with the terms of the tender offer, including, if the tender offer is extended or amended, the terms or conditions of any such extension or amendment, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns, and transfers to or upon the order of Tyler all right, title, and interest in and to all shares tendered hereby and orders the registration of such shares tendered by book-entry transfer that are purchased under the tender offer to or upon the order of Tyler and hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the depositary as attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to such shares, with the full knowledge that the depositary also acts as the agent of Tyler, with full power of substitution, such power of attorney being an irrevocable power coupled with an interest, to:

        (a)  deliver certificates for shares, or transfer ownership of such shares on the account books maintained by the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, together in either such case with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity, to or upon the order of Tyler, upon receipt by the depositary, as the undersigned's agent, of the purchase price with respect to such shares;

        (b)  present certificates for such shares for cancellation and transfer on the books of Tyler; and

        (c)  receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such shares, subject to the next paragraph, all in accordance with the terms of the tender offer.

        The undersigned hereby covenants, represents, and warrants to Tyler that:

        (a)  the undersigned understands that tendering of shares under any one of the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase and in the instructions hereto will constitute the undersigned's acceptance of the terms and conditions of the tender offer, including the undersigned's representation and warranty that (i) the undersigned has a net long position in shares or equivalent securities at least equal to the shares tendered within the meaning of Rule 14e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and (ii) such tender of shares complies with Rule 14e-4 under the Exchange Act;

        (b)  when and to the extent Tyler accepts the shares for purchase, Tyler will acquire good, marketable, and unencumbered title to them, free and clear of all security interests, liens, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements, or other obligations relating to their sale or transfer, and not subject to any adverse claim; and

        (c)  on request, the undersigned will execute and deliver any additional documents the depositary or Tyler deems necessary or desirable to complete the assignment, transfer, and purchase of the shares tendered hereby.

        The names and addresses of the registered holders should be printed, if they are not already printed above, exactly as they appear on the certificates representing the shares tendered hereby. The certificate numbers, the number of shares represented by such certificates, and the number of shares that the undersigned wishes to tender should be set forth in the appropriate boxes above.

        The undersigned understands that Tyler will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer, determine a single per share price, not in excess of $4.00 per share nor less than $3.60 per share, that it will pay for shares properly tendered and not withdrawn under the tender offer, taking into account the number of shares so tendered and the prices specified by tendering stockholders. The undersigned understands that Tyler will select the purchase price that will allow it to purchase 4,200,000 shares, or such lesser number of shares as are properly tendered, at prices not in excess of $4.00 per share nor less than $3.60 per share, under the tender offer. The undersigned understands that all shares properly tendered at prices at or below the purchase price and not properly withdrawn will be purchased at the purchase price, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer, including its odd lot priority, proration, and conditional tender provisions described in the Offer to Purchase,

5

and that Tyler will return all other shares, including shares tendered and not properly withdrawn at prices greater than the purchase price and shares not purchased because of proration or conditional tenders, as promptly as practicable following the expiration date.

        The undersigned recognizes that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Tyler may terminate or amend the tender offer or may postpone the acceptance for payment of, or the payment for, shares tendered or may accept for payment fewer than all of the shares tendered hereby. The undersigned understands that certificate(s) for any shares not tendered or not purchased will be returned to the undersigned at the address indicated above. The undersigned recognizes that Tyler has no obligation, under the Special Payment Instructions, to transfer any certificate for shares from the name of its registered holder, or to order the registration or transfer of shares tendered by book-entry transfer, if Tyler purchases none of the shares represented by such certificate or tendered by such book-entry transfer.

        The undersigned understands that acceptance of shares by Tyler for payment will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and Tyler upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer.

        The check for the aggregate net purchase price for such of the tendered shares as are purchased by Tyler will be issued to the order of the undersigned and mailed to the address indicated above unless otherwise indicated under either of the "Special Payment Instructions" or the "Special Delivery Instructions" boxes below.

        All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and any obligations or duties of the undersigned under this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.

INSTRUCTIONS TO LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
FORMING PART OF THE TERMS OF THE TENDER OFFER
OF
TYLER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

        1.    Guarantee of Signatures.    No signature guarantee is required if:

        (a)  this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder of the shares exactly as the name of the registered holder appears on the certificate ("registered holder" for purposes of this Letter of Transmittal shall include any participant in a Book-Entry Transfer Facility whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of shares, tendered with this Letter of Transmittal), and payment and delivery are to be made directly to such registered holder, unless such registered holder has completed either the box entitled "Special Payment Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" above; or

        (b)  such shares are tendered for the account of a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association, or other entity which is a member in good standing of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association, or other entity which is an "eligible guarantor institution," as such term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each such entity, referred to as an "eligible guarantor institution."

In all other cases, signatures must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution. See Instruction 6.

        2.    Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Certificates; Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.    This Letter of Transmittal is to be used only if certificates are delivered with it to the depositary, or such certificates will be delivered under a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery previously sent to the depositary, or if tenders are to be made under the procedure for tender by book-entry transfer set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. Certificates for all physically tendered shares, or confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the depositary's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility of shares tendered electronically, together in each case with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal or manually signed facsimile of it, or an Agent's Message (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, should be mailed or delivered to the depositary at the appropriate address set forth herein and must be delivered to the depositary before the expiration date.

        Stockholders whose certificates are not immediately available or who cannot deliver certificates for their shares and all other required documents to the depositary before the expiration date, or whose shares cannot be delivered before the expiration date under the procedures for book-entry transfer, may tender their shares by or through any eligible guarantor institution by properly completing and duly executing and delivering a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, or facsimile of it, and by otherwise complying with the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. Under such procedure, the certificates for all physically tendered shares or book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, as well as a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, or manually signed facsimile of it, or an agent's message, and all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the depositary within three trading days after receipt by the depositary of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, all as provided in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.

        The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be delivered by hand, facsimile transmission, or mail to the depositary and must include, if necessary, a guarantee by an eligible guarantor institution in the form set forth in such notice. For shares to be tendered validly under the guaranteed delivery procedure, the depositary must receive the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery before the expiration date.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF ALL DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, IS AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING STOCKHOLDER. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED, IS RECOMMENDED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

        Except as specifically permitted by Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, Tyler will not accept any alternative, contingent, or conditional tenders, nor will it purchase any fractional shares. All tendering

9

stockholders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal, or a facsimile of it, waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their tender.

        3.    Inadequate Space.    If the space provided in the box captioned "Description of Shares Tendered" is inadequate, the certificate numbers, the number of shares represented by each certificate, and the number of shares tendered should be listed on a separate signed schedule and attached to this Letter of Transmittal.

        4.    Partial Tenders and Unpurchased Shares.    (Not applicable to stockholders who tender by book-entry transfer.) If fewer than all of the shares evidenced by any certificate are to be tendered, fill in the number of shares that are to be tendered in the column entitled "Number of Shares Tendered." In such case, if any tendered shares are purchased, a new certificate for the remainder of the shares evidenced by the old certificates will be issued and sent to the registered holder(s) promptly after the expiration date. Unless otherwise indicated, all shares represented by the certificates listed and delivered to the depositary will be deemed to have been tendered.

        5.    Indication of Price at Which Shares are Being Tendered.    For shares to be properly tendered, the stockholder MUST check the box indicating the price per share at which such stockholder is tendering shares under "Price (in dollars) Per Share at which Shares Are Being Tendered" in this Letter of Transmittal; provided, however, that (1) an "odd lot holder" (as defined in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase) may check the box above in the section entitled "Odd Lots" indicating that such holder is tendering all of such holder's shares at the purchase price determined by Tyler under the tender offer or (2) a stockholder may check the box above in the section captioned "Shares Tendered at Price Determined Under the Tender Offer" if the stockholder wants to maximize the chance of having Tyler purchase all of the shares that it is tendering (subject to the possibility of proration); this action could result in the stockholder receiving a price per share as low as $3.60. ONLY ONE BOX MAY BE CHECKED. IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED OR IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, THERE IS NO PROPER TENDER OF SHARES. A stockholder wishing to tender portions of such stockholder's share holdings at different prices must complete a separate Letter of Transmittal for each price at which such stockholder wishes to tender each such portion of such stockholder's shares. The same shares cannot be tendered, unless previously properly withdrawn as provided in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase, at more than one price.

        6.    Signatures on Letter of Transmittal, Stock Powers and Endorsements.

        (a)  If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the shares tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond exactly with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) without any change whatsoever.

        (b)  If the shares are registered in the names of two or more joint holders, each such holder must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

        (c)  If any tendered shares are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign, and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal, or photocopies of it, as there are different registrations of certificates.

        (d)  When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the shares listed and transmitted hereby, no endorsements of certificate(s) representing such shares or separate stock powers are required unless payment is to be made or the certificates for shares not tendered or not purchased are to be issued to a person other than the registered holder(s). SIGNATURE(S) ON SUCH CERTIFICATE(S) MUST BE GUARANTEED BY AN ELIGIBLE GUARANTOR INSTITUTION. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the certificate(s) listed, or if payment is to be made to a person other than the registered holder(s), the certificate(s) must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on the certificate(s), and the signature(s) on such certificates or stock power(s) must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution. See Instruction 1.

        (e)  If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificates or stock powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and must submit proper evidence to the depositary that is satisfactory to Tyler of their authority to so act.

10

        7.    Stock Transfer Taxes.    Except as provided in this Instruction 7, no stock transfer tax stamps or funds to cover such stamps need to accompany this Letter of Transmittal. Tyler will pay or cause to be paid any stock transfer taxes payable on the transfer to it of shares purchased under the tender offer. If, however:

        (a)  payment of the purchase price is to be made to any person other than the registered holder(s);

        (b)  tendered certificates are registered in the name of any person(s) other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal; or

        (c)  shares not tendered or not accepted for purchase are to be registered in the name(s) of any person(s) other than the registered holder(s);

then, the depositary will deduct from the purchase price the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s), such other person(s), or otherwise) payable on account thereof, unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or an exemption from them is submitted.

        8.    Odd Lots.    As described in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase, if Tyler is to purchase fewer than all shares tendered before the expiration date and not properly withdrawn, the shares purchased first will consist of all shares tendered by any stockholder who owned beneficially or of record an aggregate of fewer than 100 shares, and who tenders all of such holder's shares at or below the purchase price. This preference will not be available unless all of such holder's shares are tendered at or below the purchase price. This preference will not be available unless the box captioned "Odd Lots" is completed.

        9.    Order of Purchase in Event of Proration.    Stockholders may designate the order in which their shares are to be purchased in the event of proration. The order of purchase may have an effect on the U.S. federal income tax classification and the amount of any gain or loss on the shares purchased. See Section 14 of the Offer to Purchase.

        10.    Special Payment and Delivery Instructions.    If check(s) are to be issued in the name of a person other than the signer of the Letter of Transmittal or if such check(s) are to be sent to someone other than the person signing the Letter of Transmittal or to the signer at a different address, the boxes captioned "Special Payment Instructions" and/or "Special Delivery Instructions" on this Letter of Transmittal should be completed as applicable and signatures must be guaranteed as described in Instructions 1 and 6.

        11.    Irregularities.    All questions as to the number of shares to be accepted, the price to be paid therefore, and the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance for payment of any tender of shares will be determined by Tyler in its sole discretion, which determinations shall be final and binding on all parties. Tyler reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of shares it determines not to be in proper form or the acceptance of which or payment for which may, in the opinion of Tyler, be unlawful. Tyler also reserves the absolute right to waive with respect to all stockholders any of the conditions of the tender offer and to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any particular shares, and Tyler's interpretation of the terms of the tender offer, including these instructions, will be final and binding on all parties. No tender of shares will be deemed to be properly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders must be cured within such time as Tyler shall determine. None of Tyler, the depositary, the information agent, or any other person is or will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders and none of them will incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

        12.    Questions and Requests for Assistance and Additional Copies.    Any questions or requests for assistance or for additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal, or the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be directed to the information agent at the telephone number and address set forth below. You may also contact your broker, dealer, commercial bank, or trust company for assistance concerning the tender offer. To confirm delivery of your shares, you are directed to contact the depositary at the number set forth on the front page of this Letter of Transmittal.

        13.    Tax Identification Number and Backup Withholding.    U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a stockholder whose tendered shares are accepted for purchase, or such stockholder's assignee, in either case, referred to as the "payee," provide the depositary with such payee's correct taxpayer identification number, which, in the case of a payee who is an individual, is such payee's social security number. If the depositary is not provided with the correct taxpayer identification number or an adequate basis for an exemption, such payee may be subject to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and backup withholding in an amount equal to 30% of the gross proceeds received pursuant to the tender offer.

11

If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained. To prevent backup withholding, each payee must provide the depositary with a correct taxpayer identification number by completing the Substitute Form W-9 included herewith, and certify, under penalties of perjury, that such taxpayer identification number is correct (or that such payee is awaiting a taxpayer identification number), that such stockholder is not subject to backup withholding of federal income tax, and that such stockholder is a U.S. person. If the payee does not have a taxpayer identification number, such payee should (a) consult the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 for instructions on applying for a taxpayer identification number, (b) write "Applied For" in the space provided in Part 1 of the Substitute Form W-9 and (c) sign and date the Substitute Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number. If the payee does not provide such payee's taxpayer identification number to the depositary, backup withholding will apply and will reduce the net amount paid to the selling stockholder. Note that writing "Applied For" on the Substitute Form W-9 means that the payee has already applied for a taxpayer identification number or that such payee intends to apply for one in the near future. If shares are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 ("Substitute Form W-9 Guidelines") for information on which taxpayer identification number to report. Exempt payees, including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals, are not subject to backup withholding and reporting requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt payee should check the exempt payee box in Part 2 of Substitute Form W-9, and should sign and date the form. See the Substitute Form W-9 Guidelines for additional instructions. In order for a nonresident alien or foreign entity to qualify as an exempt payee, such person must submit a completed IRS Form W-8BEN or a Substitute Form W-8 (or similar form), signed under penalties of perjury attesting to such exempt status. Such form may be obtained from the depositary.

        14.    Withholding on Foreign Holder.    The following discussion applies to any "foreign stockholder," that is, a stockholder that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a non-resident alien individual, a foreign corporation, a foreign partnership, a foreign estate or a foreign trust. A foreign stockholder who has provided a completed IRS Form W-8BEN or a Substitute Form W-9 (or similar form) to the depositary will not be subject to backup withholding. However, foreign stockholders generally are subject to withholding under Internal Revenue Code sections 1441 or 1442 at a rate of 30% of the gross payments received by such foreign stockholders which are subject to dividend treatment. If a stockholder's address is outside the United States, and if the depositary has not received a Substitute Form W-9, the depositary will assume that the stockholder is a foreign stockholder. The general 30% withholding rate may be reduced under a tax treaty, if appropriate certification (Form W-8BEN) is furnished to the depositary. A foreign stockholder may be eligible to obtain a refund of all or a portion of any tax withheld if such stockholder meets those tests described in Section 14 of the Offer to Purchase that would characterize the exchange as a sale (as opposed to a dividend) or is otherwise able to establish that no tax or a reduced amount of tax is due. Foreign stockholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of U.S. federal income tax withholding and the refund procedure.

        15.    Lost, Stolen, Destroyed, or Mutilated Certificates.    If any certificate representing shares has been lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated, the stockholder should notify Equiserve Trust Company, N.A., the transfer agent for the shares, of that fact by calling (877) 282-1168 and asking for instructions on obtaining a replacement certificate(s). Equiserve Trust Company, N.A. will require you to complete an affidavit of loss and return it to them. Such stockholder will then be instructed by Equiserve Trust Company, N.A. as to the steps that must be taken in order to replace the certificate. A bond may be required to be posted by the stockholder to secure against the risk that the certificate may be subsequently recirculated. This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated certificates have been followed.

        16.    Conditional Tenders.    As described in Sections 1 and 6 of the Offer to Purchase, stockholders may condition their tenders on all or a minimum number of their tendered shares being purchased. If Tyler is to purchase less than all of the shares tendered before the expiration date and not withdrawn, the Depositary will perform a preliminary proration, and any shares tendered at or below the purchase price pursuant to a conditional tender for which the condition was not satisfied by the preliminary proration will be deemed withdrawn, subject to reinstatement if such conditional tendered shares are subsequently selected by random lot for purchase subject to Sections 1 and 6 of the Offer to Purchase. Conditional tenders will be selected by lot only from stockholders who tender all of their shares. All tendered shares will be deemed unconditionally

12

tendered unless the "Conditional Tender" box is completed. The conditional tender alternative is made available so that a stockholder may assure that the purchase of shares from the stockholder pursuant to the offer will be treated as a sale of the shares by the stockholder, rather than the payment of a dividend to the stockholder, for federal income tax purposes. Odd Lots, which will not be subject to proration, cannot be conditionally tendered. It is the tendering stockholder's responsibility to calculate the minimum number of shares that must be purchased from the stockholder in order for the stockholder to qualify for sale (rather than dividend) treatment, and each stockholder is urged to consult his or her own financial or tax advisor.

        IN THE EVENT OF PRORATION, ANY SHARES TENDERED PURSUANT TO A CONDITIONAL TENDER FOR WHICH THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT SATISFIED MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED AND THEREBY WILL BE DEEMED WITHDRAWN.

IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR A MANUALLY SIGNED PHOTOCOPY OF IT (TOGETHER WITH CERTIFICATE(S) FOR SHARES OR CONFIRMATION OF BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS) OR, IF APPLICABLE, THE NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE.
