Texas District Court Alliance
TDCA Presidents Message

 

Lisa David
District Clerk

Williamson County

 

Greetings to All,

The TDCA Board of Directors would like to welcome you and encourage you to become a member of the Texas District Court Alliance. Whether you are a new clerk or one that has been in office for a while we are here to assist you and give you the tools necessary to be the best clerk you can be.

The Texas District Court Alliance evolved from The Texas Association of Child Support Registries (TACSRs), formed in 1996 to have a voice in the selection process and implementation of the State Disbursement Unit (SDU). In the process TACSRs began holding educational workshops and became an important educational opportunity for district clerks and district court personnel.

At a meeting of the membership, it was unanimously voted to change the name of the organization to the Texas District Court Alliance (“TDCA”). Although many of the founding members have retired or gone on, the principles under which the Alliance operates remain the same.

The Alliance continues to strive to provide excellent education to its members by keeping registration and membership fees at a minimum to allow members to bring staff, especially in counties with limited budget resources.

The workshops are based on a 4-year curriculum-Criminal, Family, Civil (non-family) and Administrative. Each course encompasses general information but focuses on the clerk’s responsibilities.

The planning for the 23rd Annual TDCA Workshop is underway. The dates will be October 17-19, 2023. The workshop will be held in Kerrville at the YO Hilton. This year’s topic will be on criminal. We will have great education for you regarding the rules, laws and court costs in all aspects of Criminal cases. The rules and laws are everchanging and it is our goal to let you know the most up to date changes that have occurred since you have taken office. I know we have a lot of new clerks and we also welcome our seasoned clerks to this conference. The tentative agenda will be posted mid-August. I welcome all of you to be a part of this great organization.

I am extremely honored to lead the Texas District Court Alliance. The Board and I can’t wait to see you in October.

Stay Safe,

Lisa David
District Clerk
Williamson County
Texas District Court Alliance President
