Court Personnel Grapevine (DFW) Conference Info Page
General Information
We look forward to seeing you in Grapevine, July 8-10, 2025. Please read below for hotel information, the conference agenda, and handouts.
Hotel Information
There are no more rooms available in our room blcok for the night before the conference for those who did not already request and receive confirmation of one. You will need to make those arrangements on your own.
The conference will take place at the Embassy Suites DFW North, located at 2401 Bass Pro Drive, Grapevine, TX 76051. TJCTC will pay for parking for overnight and daily guests. If you opt to valet park, you will need to pay for that yourself.
When you arrive to check in, the hotel will require you to put a debit or credit card down for incidentals. After you check out, you will receive a refund for any remaining balance after incidental charges are totaled (if you charge nothing to your room, you will receive a full refund). If you use a debit card, the incidental deposit will be charged to your card immediately, refunds may take a few days depending on your bank. If you use a credit card it will just put a hold on your account until check out. We recommend using a credit card instead of a debit card.
