HUGE NEWS! The TMCA Board voted unanimously to extend the same registration fee for this hybrid Symposium as we charged last year for Zoom only.

Registration will open within the next month.

We have reserved a block of rooms at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Austin which is less than a mile from the Conference Center. Our room rate is $216 per night and rooms are open for booking. The booking site may default to two nights, so be sure to edit the dates if you want to book one night.

Hope to see you on October 25^th!

TEXAS BAR JOURNAL CENTER-SPREAD ADVERTISEMENT

Watch for our center-spread ad in the June 2025 issue of the State Bar of Texas' Texas Bar Journal! Every year since 2007, TMCA has placed an ad in the Texas Bar Journal listing all current Credential holders. This exposure to more than 123,000 Texas attorneys helps fulfill TMCA's mission to "Promote Quality Mediation Throughout Texas."

TMCA'S 2024 SUPPLEMENT TO THE MEDIATION BENCHBOOK

Each year, TMCA mails our "Supplement to the Mediation Benchbook" to more than 1,200 County, District, Appellate, Federal, and Supreme Court judges across Texas. This Supplement includes all current TMCA Credential holders listed by county of primary practice. Our 2024 “Supplement to the Mediation Benchbook” is another way TMCA puts credentialed mediators at the fingertips of influencers and decision-makers while fulfilling its mission to promote quality mediation throughout Texas.

The Mediation Benchbook, Second Edition, mailed to the same judges, provides Texas judges and others that utilize mediation a resource that includes mediation statutes, a sample mediation order, TMCA credentialing criteria, information about TMCA's grievance process, and the Texas Supreme Court ethics orders. The Benchbook is funded by your dues and an educational grant from the James W. Gibson Fund.
