  Membership Revenues Up 10%; Net Income Up 46%; EPS Up 47% & Cash Flow Up 36%

     ADA,  OK,  April 24,  2006 -  Pre-Paid  Legal  Services,  Inc.  (NYSE:PPD),
announced  financial  results  for the  first  quarter  ended  March  31,  2006.
Membership  revenues  increased 10% to $101.7 million from $92.5 million for the
same period last year. Net income increased 46% primarily due to lower associate
services and direct marketing expenses and, although total commissions paid were
higher in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period, commissions were lower as
a percentage of membership  revenues (31% vs. 34%).  Diluted  earnings per share
for the quarter  increased 47% to 84 cents per share from 57 cents per share for
the  prior  year's  comparable  quarter,  slightly  higher  than the net  income
increase due to the 2% decrease in the weighted  average  number of  outstanding
shares.

     Net cash provided from  operating  activities  before changes in assets and
liabilities  for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 increased 36% to $15.2 million
compared to $11.1 million for the  comparable  period of 2005.  During the first
quarter,  we returned  $16.2 million to  shareholders  through the repurchase of
448,426  shares of common stock at an average per share price of $36.05 and also
paid $4.6  million in  dividends.  Since April  1999,  we have  returned  $238.7
million to  shareholders  through the  purchase of 9.9 million  shares,  average
price of $24.20 per share,  and $17.1 million in dividends for a combined  total
of $255.8 million  representing more than 115 percent of our net earnings during
the same  timeframe.  We have  reduced  the  number  of  shares  outstanding  by
approximately  37% from 23.7 million at March 31, 1999 to 15.1 million today. At
March 31, 2006,  our total  indebtedness  was $33.7 million and we had unpledged
cash and investment balances exceeding $50 million.

     First  quarter 2006  membership  fees  increased 1% to $101.7  million from
$100.6  million  for the fourth  quarter of 2005.  Associate  services  revenues
decreased  during  the 2006  first  quarter by  approximately  $448,000  to $7.0
million from $7.4 million for the 2005 fourth quarter and associate services and
direct  marketing  expenses  increased by $1.6  million  during the same period.
Membership  benefits totaled $35.6 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared
to $35.8  million  for the 2005  fourth  quarter  and  represented  35% and 36%,
respectively,  of membership fees for the two periods. Commissions to associates
totaled $31.9  million in the 2006 first  quarter  compared to $33.8 million for
the 2005 fourth quarter and represented 31% and 34%, respectively, of membership
fees for the two periods.  General and administrative  expenses decreased during
the 2006 first quarter to $12.5  million  compared to $13.6 million for the 2005
fourth quarter and represented 12% and 13%, respectively, of membership fees for
the two periods.

     The Company  will conduct a  conference  call to present the first  quarter
