Which type of activity is explicitly mentioned as not counting toward CE credit?

The correct answer is entertainment and recreation because continuing education (CE) credits are designed to enhance professional knowledge and skills in a specific field. Activities that fall under entertainment and recreation typically do not provide the educational content or professional growth necessary to fulfill CE requirements.

In contrast, workshops and seminars, online courses, and professional conferences are structured educational formats that focus on providing relevant training, updates on industry standards, or advancing competencies in shorthand reporting. These formats are recognized as valuable opportunities for professional development and skill enhancement, which directly contribute to the requirements set by the Texas Board of Court Reporters for continuing education.
