EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is between Tyler Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Dustin R. Womble (“Executive”). This Agreement shall become effective as of February 5, 2013 (the “Effective Date”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive, and Executive desires employment as an employee of the Company, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the non-competition and confidentiality obligations of Executive as set forth in this Agreement are a material inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement, and the Company would not enter into this Agreement absent such covenants by Executive.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, Executive and the Company agree as follows:

1. Employment. The Company hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts such employment, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2. Duties of Executive.

(a) Executive shall serve in the capacity of Executive Vice President of the Company or such other capacity as may be assigned to Executive by the Company’s Board of Directors, which capacity shall be commensurate with the education, experience, and skills of Executive. In all such capacities, Executive shall have all necessary power and authority to discharge his responsibilities. Executive shall report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

(b) Executive shall devote his full business time and effort to the performance of his duties and responsibilities as an executive of the Company, excluding vacation and reasonable absence due to illness.

(c) Executive shall perform his duties in a professional manner and shall use his best efforts, skills, and abilities to promote, enhance, and preserve the business of the Company and its affiliates and the goodwill and relationships they have with their employees, agents, representatives, customers, suppliers, and other persons having business relations with any of them.

(d) Executive shall observe and comply with the written rules and regulations of the Company with respect to its business and shall carry out and perform the directives and policies of the Company as the Company’s Board of Directors may from time to time state them to Executive in writing.

3. Employment Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and continue for a period of five (5) years; provided, however, that at the end of such initial term the term shall automatically extend for an additional year unless the Company provides, at least three (3) months prior to the end of such initial term or subsequent anniversary of the end of such initial term, written notice that it does not wish to extend the term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be earlier terminated in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement.

4. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. For services performed by Executive pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive a minimum base salary at the rate of $394,000 per year (the “Base Salary”), which shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices but not less than monthly. The Base Salary shall not be subject to reduction, but may be increased at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) or the Board of Directors as a whole. Any compensation that may be paid to Executive under any additional compensation or incentive plan or which may be otherwise authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors shall be in addition to the Base Salary to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement.

(b) Annual Bonus. For each calendar year during the term of this Agreement, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual performance bonus (the “Bonus”).

Executive’s Bonus for calendar year 2013 shall be established and paid in accordance with the incentive compensation plan set forth as Exhibit A. During the term of this Agreement, the Compensation Committee shall establish the performance objectives serving the basis of Executive’s Bonus on an annual basis, which shall be attached to this Agreement as the then current Exhibit A and shall replace the prior year’s incentive compensation plan.

The options shall vest in equal installments on the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth anniversary of the date of grant and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) and the Company’s standard Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”). The Option Grant shall be issued at an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on February 11, 2013.

5. Executive Benefits. During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall provide Executive with all benefits made available from time to time by the Company to its senior executives and to its employees generally as set forth in the Company’s employee handbook, including, without limitation, participation in medical and dental benefit plans and programs, disability and death insurance, 401-K plans, paid vacation, and other fringe benefits.

(a) Executive understands that, during the course of his employment by the Company, Executive shall have access to and receive the benefit of Confidential Information (as defined in Section 9) and special training, as well as come into contact with customers and potential customers of the Company and its affiliates, which Confidential Information, training, knowledge, and contacts would provide invaluable benefits to competitors and potential competitors of the Company and its affiliates. To protect such entities’ interest in this information and in these contacts and relationships, and in consideration for the Company entering into this Agreement, Executive agrees and covenants that for a period beginning on the Effective Date of this Agreement and continuing until one year after the expiration or other termination of this Agreement, Executive shall not (without the prior written consent of the Company), directly or indirectly:

(i) engage in any business, in a capacity similar to that which Executive provided for the Company as set forth in paragraph 2(a) herein, that provides similar or competitive products or services as those provided by the Company and its affiliates anywhere in the United States (except that Executive may beneficially own less than 3% of the common equity of any publicly traded entity); or

It is further agreed that such covenant shall be regarded as divisible and shall be operative as to time, area, and scope to the extent it may be so operative, and if any part of such covenant is declared invalid, unenforceable, or void as to time, area, or scope, the validity and enforceability of the remainder shall not be affected. Similarly, if any provision of the foregoing covenant is found to be overly broad with respect to time, area, or scope, the parties authorize the appropriate tribunal to reform such provision, in accordance with the laws of such tribunal, to render the applicable provision reasonable and enforceable.

6

(c) Executive understands and acknowledges that the determination of damages in the event of a breach of any provision of this Section 8 would be difficult. Executive agrees that the Company or its affiliates, in addition to all other remedies it or any of them may have at law or in equity (and notwithstanding Section 19), shall have the right to injunctive relief if there is a breach without the necessity of proving the inadequacy or unavailability of damages as an effective remedy.

9. Confidential Information.

(a) Executive acknowledges that the Company and its affiliates are continuously developing or receiving Confidential Information (as defined below), and that during Executive’s employment, Executive shall receive Confidential Information from the Company and its affiliates and shall receive special training relating to the Company’s and its affiliates’ business methodologies. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that Executive’s employment by the Company creates a relationship of confidence and trust between Executive, the Company and its affiliates that extends to all Confidential Information that becomes known to Executive. Accordingly, Executive shall not disclose or use any Confidential Information, except in connection with the good faith performance of his duties as an officer and employee, and shall take reasonable precautions against the unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information. Upon the Company’s request, Executive shall execute and comply with a third party’s agreement to protect its confidential and proprietary information. In addition, Executive shall not solicit or induce the unauthorized disclosure or use of a third party’s confidential or proprietary information for the benefit of the Company or its affiliates.

(i) the Company and its affiliates, or any of their respective customers or suppliers, treats as confidential or proprietary through markings or otherwise;

(ii) relates to the Company and its affiliates, or any of their respective customers or suppliers, or any of their respective business activities, products, or services (including software programs and techniques) and is competitively sensitive or not generally known in the relevant trade or industry; or

(iii) derives independent economic value from not being known to, and is not generally ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use.

7

Confidential Information shall not include information or material that: (A) was in the public domain prior to the date of this Agreement or subsequently came into the public domain through no fault of Executive; (B) was lawfully received by Executive from a third party free of any obligation of confidentiality; (C) is approved by the Company for unrestricted public disclosure; or (D) is required to be disclosed in a judicial or administrative proceeding or by a governmental or regulatory authority, domestic or foreign.

(b) Executive assigns to the Company all of his rights in and to all works of authorship and inventions that Executive produces while employed by the Company, working alone or jointly with others, and waives all rights therein. Executive agrees to sign, without additional compensation, all necessary documents and otherwise assist the Company, at its expense, to register and enforce all copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property rights. Executive appoints the Company as his attorney-in-fact for the sole purpose of executing all necessary documents relating to the registration or enforcement of any copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property rights produced while employed by the Company and assigned to the Company in accordance with, and subject to the restrictions contained in, this Section 10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive does not assign works of authorship or inventions which: (i) Executive developed on his own time without using the Company’s equipment, facilities, supplies, or Confidential Information; or (ii) do not relate to either: (A) the Company’s or its affiliates’ business; (B) the Company’s or its affiliates’ actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; or (C) work done by Executive for the Company.

(c) The Company can waive the rights in any work of authorship or invention only through a written instrument signed by the Company’s General Counsel after Executive has fully and completely disclosed in writing the existence and nature of that work or authorship or invention.

11. End of Employment

(a) Executive agrees that all documents of any nature pertaining to the activities of the Company or its affiliates, or that include Confidential Information, in his possession now or at any time during the term of his employment, including, without limitation, memoranda, notebooks, notes, data sheets, records, and computer programs, are and shall be the property of the Company and that all copies thereof shall be surrendered to the appropriate entity upon termination of employment.

8

(b) To the maximum extent permitted by law, Executive authorizes the Company to offset any liquidated amounts payable or reimbursable to the Company by Executive against, and to withhold such amounts from, any amounts payable or reimbursable to Executive by the Company under this Agreement or otherwise.

(c) Executive agrees that he will cooperate with the Company in the defense of any legal claim involving any matter that arose during Executive’s employment with the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse Executive for any reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Executive in providing such cooperation.

12. Specific Performance. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of either party to perform the agreements and covenants set forth in Section 8, Section 9, Section 10, and Section 11 of this Agreement shall cause irreparable injury to the other party for which damages, even if available, may not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each party hereby consents, notwithstanding Section 19, to the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of such party’s obligations and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of such obligations.

13. Continuing Obligations. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 8 through Section 20 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Any such arbitration proceeding shall take place in the City of Dallas, Texas, and the arbitrator shall apply the laws of the State of Delaware. Any decision rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding and judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application thereon may be made to such court for an order of enforcement as the case may require. The parties intend that this agreement to arbitrate be irrevocable. If arbitration is invoked in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other all costs, fees, and expenses pertaining to or attributable to such arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
