Civil Process Galveston
20-Hour Civil Process Galveston
General Information
We look forward to seeing you soon in Galveston on May 3-6, 2026. Please read below for hotel information, the conference agenda, and handouts.
Hotel Information
The conference will take place at the San Luis Resort, located at 5222 Seawall Blvd, Galveston, TX 77551. TJCTC will pay for parking. If you opt to valet park, you will need to pay that yourself.
When you arrive to check-in, the hotel will require you to put a credit card down for incidentals. This will place a hold on your credit card that will be reimbursed if you do not use any incidentals. We recommend using a credit card, instead of a debit card.
Please note that you may access the materials for all classes in the program, not just the ones you attend.
