Live Webinars
TJCTC’s live webinars are real-time, virtual programs where you join an instructor online for scheduled training sessions. You’ll watch presentations, follow along with materials, and have the opportunity to learn just as you would in a classroom—only from your own computer.
Virtual programs are created due to generous grants from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals & the Texas Department of Public Transportation.

Webinar Attendance Policy
Our live webinars are intended for individuals who work in justice courts or constable offices. To keep these sessions focused on the audience they are designed to serve, attendance is limited to those offices. If someone registers who is not part of a justice court or constable office, we may remove that registration from the live webinar.
Recordings of the programs are posted afterward and are available for anyone who would like to watch.
Artificial Intelligence Policy
TJCTC wants to encourage participation and collaboration, while maintaining everyone's right to privacy. With this in mind, we do not allow Artificial Intelligence software “bots” to attend our events. These are only available to justice court and constable office employees and should not be captured by AI bots.
