Retired Porn Star Asia Carrera Passes Texas Bar Exam to Become Attorney
Asia Carrera, a retired adult film performer, passed the Texas bar exam and is now one step away from becoming a licensed attorney. Born Jessica Steinhauser, she graduated from St. Mary's University Law School after retiring from the adult film industry in 2003.
Asia Carrera, whose real name is Jessica Steinhauser, has successfully passed the Texas bar exam after graduating from St. Mary's University Law School. The 50-year-old mother of two announced the news on Facebook.
Carrera had a successful adult film career from 1993 to 2003, appearing in over 350 films. In 1995, she became the first Asian performer to win the AVN Female Performer of the Year Award, the industry's top honor.
She retired from adult films in 2003 when she married nutritionist Don Lemmon. Now widowed, she decided to pursue law as a second career. Her transition represents a complete professional transformation over two decades after leaving the adult entertainment industry.
Passing the bar exam is the final step before becoming a licensed attorney in Texas. The exam tests knowledge of state and federal law and is required for all new lawyers.
Her story shows how people can completely change careers and build new professional lives. It highlights that past work doesn't have to define someone's future opportunities in fields like law.
Carrera will need to complete character and fitness review before receiving her law license in Texas.
