Who provides the required certification information for the transcripts reported by an apprentice?

The certification information for transcripts reported by an apprentice must be provided by the supervising Certified Shorthand Reporter (CSR). This is because the supervising CSR has the responsibility to oversee the work of the apprentice, ensuring that the transcripts meet the standards required by the Texas Judicial Branch Certification Commission. The supervising CSR adds their credentials to the transcript, indicating that the work has been reviewed and is deemed accurate and compliant with all necessary regulations.

The role of the supervising CSR is crucial in maintaining the quality and integrity of the transcription process, as apprentices may not yet have the experience or authority to certify their own work. This collaboration helps uphold professional standards in the field of court reporting, fostering ongoing training and adherence to legal requirements.
