How far in advance must CSRs submit requests for approval of continuing education?

Texas Certified Shorthand Reporters (CSRs) are required to submit requests for approval of continuing education at least two months before the event or course begins. This timeframe ensures that the Texas Judicial Branch Certification Commission (JBCC) has sufficient time to review and approve the submission, allowing CSRs to fulfill their continuing education requirements without delays.

Continuing education is crucial for maintaining licensure and ensuring that reporters are up to date with current practices, technology, and legal standards. By requiring a two-month advance submission, the JBCC facilitates proper planning and compliance, helping to uphold the professionalism and competency of CSRs in Texas. It's important for CSRs to adhere to this timeline to avoid any interruptions in their ability to maintain their certification.
