     ADA,  OK,  October  6, 2009 - Pre-Paid  Legal  Services,  Inc.  (NYSE:PPD),
announced  that as part of a fact-finding  inquiry,  we have received a subpoena
from the Division of  Enforcement  of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
("SEC").  The subpoena requires us to produce a variety of documents  pertaining
to our treasury stock repurchase  program;  our ADRS program and other marketing
practices;  membership  statistical  information;  segment  reporting;  the  FTC
contingency disclosure; and other operational practices. This investigation is a
fact-finding inquiry and does not mean that the SEC has reached any conclusions.

     We are also responding to comments  received by the Division of Corporation
Finance of the SEC  pertaining  to our Form 10-K for fiscal year ended  December
31, 2008 and our definitive proxy statement incorporated by reference therein.

     We are  cooperating  with the staff of the SEC and  providing the requested
information and expect to continue to do so. We are not able to predict what the
outcome of these inquiries and comments may be or when they will be resolved.

material  adverse  effect on us if resolved  unfavorably to us, that we may have
compromises of our information security, that during an economic downturn in the
