Traffic Safety ListServ

TMCEC Save A Life

The Texas Municipal Courts Education Center (TMCEC) now sponsors a listserv on traffic safety issues. There is no charge to subscribe, as the listserv is sponsored by Yahoo and contains a small amount of commercial advertising.

• TMCECSaveALife@yahoogroups.com

The purposes of this listserv is to (1) provide participants with up-to-date information on laws and procedures that effect the operations of Texas municipal courts regarding traffic safety; (2) allow participants to network, problem solve, and share with others what problems involving traffic safety arise in your court; and (3) distribute information relevant to municipal courts on traffic safety issues.

With a listserv, you can send an inquiry that will go to everyone's mailbox on the listserv and they can respond with a click of a button. There will be dozens of members on the TMCEC listserv, so users must be careful to not send irrelevant messages as they will be blocked from participation.

To join the listserv, send your name, title, court name, telephone number, and email address to Hope Lochridge at TMCEC or email this information to her. Please add a note that you are interested in the traffic safety listserv. To remove your name from the listserv, just send a message to unsubscribe.

What is a Listserv? Listservs work like a mailing list of people who are interested in the same topics. One person can correspond with many people at once. Every message posted to the list is sent to all of the list subscribers by electronic mail received automatically.
