Since 1984, the Texas Municipal Courts Education Center has provided quality continuing judicial education to municipal judges, court support personnel, and city prosecutors. TMCEC’s programs would not be possible without our exceptional faculty who give their time in service for the fair administration of justice in Texas municipal courts. This page contains helpful information and forms for TMCEC faculty members.
Questions about educational programming should be directed to Mark Goodner.
