Want to save time and money on your CLE? Here's how.

Texas lawyers have an opportunity to strike CLE gold, thanks to a partnership between Alta Pro Insurance and Attorney Credits.

If you practice in the Lone Star state, you can fulfill your annual CLE requirement of 15 hours – including the mandatory three hours of ethics – at your convenience, whenever you choose, at work or at home. You can even take a class while you’re on the treadmill at Planet Fitness.

Choose from more than 70 Texas-approved courses ranging from Legal Ethics of Social Media (1 hour), Top Tech Tools for Lawyers (1 hour), or Tax Crash Course for Business Attorneys (1 hour). All courses are available through video streaming, video download, audio streaming or audio download.

And it gets better: you can satisfy your yearly requirement with a single click – and save up to 30 percent on registration costs – by purchasing a 15-hour bundle. Once you’ve selected your courses, you can take as much time as you’d like to complete them. Courses are available 24/7 on any web-connected desktop, tablet or mobile device.

These Texas CLE savings are a benefit of membership in Alta Pro Lawyers RPG.
