The 78th Annual Education Conference of the Justices of the Peace & Constables Association has one goal in mind: to keep you informed about issues that are important to you and your constituents. Join us in College Station for a great conference with lots of opportunities to learn, network and explore College Station.

Education sessions are provided by the Texas Justice Court Training Center. The conference offers up to 16 hours of continuing education for justices of the peace and court personnel. Constables can earn up to 17 hours, with 15 hours approved for TCOLE.

Please note that the education sessions for justices of the peace meet the County and District Court Technology Fund’s provisions for paying for continuing education and training for county court, statutory county court, or district court judges and clerks regarding technological enhancements.
