The TMCEC and NCSC works very diligently to provide top notch education to Texas Municipal Court Clerks. Over the past five years, TMCEC has brought the NCSC training to Texas to educate Municipal Court Clerk Administrators by providing the Court Management Program (CMP). The CMP Program addresses the training needs of court mangers. This program consist of five core courses and a concluding seminar. The Concluding Seminar that will be held February 2010 culminates in a formal graduation ceremony and the awarding of CMP certificates. This graduation will be held February 5, 2010, at the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and the certificate presenter will be Presiding Judge Sharon Keller. Congratulations to all the Clerks that have participated in this program and that strive every day to attain a higher education in the Municipal Court Justice System. A BIG Thank You goes to TMCEC and the NCSC for investing in Texas Municipal Court Clerk's education.
