  • How to Create a TJCTC Username

    • New constables will need to create a TJCTC login in order to register for any Training Center event and view many of our resources. With the login, users will also be able to download forms, view publications, and post questions to the legal board. For security purposes, a login can only be issued to current part-time or full-time employees in the justice court.

      If you are a Constable, please fill out the New Constable Form listed below:

  • TJCTC Policies

    • You must be an elected or appointed Texas Constable, an employed or officially appointed deputy constable, or an employed clerk working for a constable's office.

      Also, Sheriff's and their deputies can attend our events if there is space available after our grant-funded attendees have registered two weeks prior to an event. In this case, sheriff's are responsible for the registration fee, sleeping rooms, and meals.

      If you have questions about whether or not you may be eligible to attend a training or you need to be entered in our database, please email Laura at lv13@txstate.edu or call (512) 347-9927.

    • TJCTC is always looking for instructors with expertise in civil process.

      For Constable faculty, it is preferred that faculty be TCOLE certified, hold the CPPC certification, and be a deputy or constable. Individual considerations may be made.

      Visit our instructor page for more information on how to apply.
