Texas CLE Credit & TREC Information


TEXAS

You can satisfy ALL of your annual Texas CLE credits through our online courses. These are regular CLE credit hours just like you would earn from traditional live CLE courses and there is no limit on the number of credit hours that you can earn each year. Each online course is assigned an MCLE number by the State Bar of Texas which is displayed within the course itself.

Under Texas MCLE Rules, when you complete one of our online CLE courses, you will need to report your CLE credits directly to your MCLE record at the State Bar of Texas by the last day of your birth month in order to avoid a non-compliance penalty fee. Once you have completed a course, a direct link to the MCLE page on the SBOT website will be displayed within the course itself. The direct MCLE page link is also provided below for your convenience:
