IT’S RENEWAL TIME!!! Renewals for 2012 are now due for all TMCA credential holders. The deadline to renew is December 31, 2011. It is important to send your renewal in time to ensure your name will be placed in the upcoming Texas Bar Journal advertisement and so that your name will be listed on the website. Failure to timely send in your application could jeopardize your placement in the advertisement. As an incentive to renew, TMCA gives a 10% discount for all applicants, which, if you pay online, will automatically be applied. If you fail to timely renew for 2012, you will notice that your name will no longer appear on the list of credential holders. It will not be listed until you renew and your renewal is approved as a TMCA credential holder. The renewal application form has been simplified. You may renew online or by printing out the form here. Please submit your credential renewal by December 31, 2011. If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact TMCA Secretary John Palmer by e-mail at palmer@namanhowell.com.

TMCA’s MEDIATION BENCHBOOK
This Mediation Benchbook provides Texas judges and others that utilize mediation a resource that includes mediation statutes, sample mediation orders, TMCA guidelines and grievance process, and the Texas Supreme Court ethics orders. Inside the Benchbook’s front cover is a list of Credential holders by county. This is the first time TMCA has listed its Credential holders by county. Since this Benchbook has been mailed to more than 1200 District, County, Federal and Supreme Court judges, we wanted these decision-makers to be able to easily find Credentialed mediators within their counties/regions. All current TMCA Credential holders will also receive a copy of the Benchbook. The Benchbook is funded by your dues and an educational grant from the James W. Gibson Scholarship Fund.
