Item 8. Exhibits.
Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:
(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
i.To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
ii.To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in this registration statement; and
iii.To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if registration statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Tyler Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance of an opinion under the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by the Company on or about the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and regulations promulgated thereunder.
The Registration Statement relates to, among other things, the registration under the Act of 4,600,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value, which Shares may be issued and sold from time to time pursuant to the Tyler Technologies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, as adopted effective as of May 9, 2024 (the “Amended and Restated 2018 Plan”).
As the basis for the opinion expressed herein, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date, (iii) the Bylaws of the Company, as amended to date, (iv) the Amended and Restated 2018 Plan, (v) the resolutions and the record of actions taken by the Company’s board of directors and committees thereof and by the Company’s stockholders, in each case, with respect to, among other things, the Plan, the Shares and the authorization of the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, and (vi) such other corporate records, documents, orders, certificates, and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.

We express no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the present federal laws of the United States of America, the Delaware General Corporation Law, and the present judicial interpretations thereof.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares to be issued by the Company pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2018 Plan, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated 2018 Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
The opinion expressed herein is limited to the specific issues addressed therein, and we express no opinion as to any matters beyond that expressly stated herein. The opinion expressed herein is rendered as of the date hereof and we have no continuing obligation to inform you of changes of law, including judicial interpretations of law, or of facts, circumstances, events or developments of which we become aware after the date hereof and which may alter, affect or modify the opinion expressed herein.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
