Welcome to Austin and the 50th Annual Texas Association for Court Administration Education Conference!

It is an honor and a privilege to welcome you to this very special milestone celebration at the beautiful Renaissance Austin Hotel. For 50 years, TACA has been dedicated to advancing excellence in court administration, providing education, fostering professional development, and supporting the dedicated professionals who serve our courts across Texas.

Reaching this milestone is truly something to celebrate. We have worked hard to create a conference worthy of 50 years of excellence, with an exciting lineup of educational sessions, outstanding speakers, meaningful opportunities to connect with colleagues, and special activities planned throughout the week. We hope you will take advantage of every opportunity to learn, share ideas, build relationships, and celebrate the incredible legacy of TACA.

This conference is more than just a celebration of the past, it is also an opportunity to look toward the future of court administration. The work we do is important, and the commitment, professionalism, and dedication of court administrators and staff continue to make a difference in the communities we serve.

I am incredibly proud to help lead TACA during this momentous occasion. It is a privilege to be part of an organization with such a rich history and to celebrate this achievement alongside so many talented and dedicated professionals.

Thank you for being part of TACA and for helping make the past 50 years so successful. I hope you enjoy the conference, make lasting memories, and leave Austin inspired for the next chapter of excellence in court administration.

Welcome, and happy 50th anniversary, TACA!
