Online registration is required to attend a TMCEC event. Payment of registration and applicable housing fees is required for enrollment. There are currently no registration fees for webinars. Registration fees for other events are generally $150.

Many TMCEC events are submitted to the State Bar of Texas for Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. Attorneys who wish to have CLE credit reported to the State Bar of Texas by TMCEC may pay a $100 reporting fee. Register early as seminars have limited availability.
Note: Upon registration, you will receive an automated confirmation email with important information (You will receive a subsequent more detailed confirmation email closer to the event.). If you do not receive this automated email within 24 hours, please contact TMCEC immediately by phone or email. Please check with your city’s IT department to make sure emails from TMCEC are not going to spam or junk or bounced back.
TMCEC is committed to making sure that all municipal judges and court personnel have access to necessary training. Policies, procedures, and programs are in place to ensure that TMCEC constituents have access to training if unable to pay. Cities unable to pay the registration and housing fees may submit a request for financial assistance. Applicants must provide written documentation explaining the financial hardship 60 days prior to the TMCEC event. Requests for financial assistance and documentation should be addressed to the TMCEC Executive Director.

Eligibility to Register
TMCEC is funded by public monies. Generally, only individuals currently employed by a municipal court in Texas are eligible to register for and attend TMCEC programs. Exceptions include: (1) juvenile case managers working at a justice court may attend the Juvenile Case Manager Conference, (2) county and district attorneys that prosecute Class C Misdemeanors in justice or county courts may attend prosecutors programs, (3) judges that hear municipal court appeals may attend regional judges programs; and (4) program partners, city officials, and law enforcement may attend TxDOT-funded programs at TxDOT or local expense.
Participants who work within a 30-mile radius of the conference site will not have their lodging covered by the TMCEC grant. These participants will be responsible for all lodging costs if they would still like the option of staying at the seminar site.
