The Texas Bar College is a professional society of legal scholars who are leaders in the Texas legal community and champions of legal education. Its members are committed to high ethical standards and improved training for all legal professionals.
Texas Bar College members care about learning. Members commit to completing twice the minimum CLE requirements every year. The Texas Bar College supports this mission by hosting some of the best CLEs in the State.
Texas Bar College members care about professionalism. When you are proud of your profession, you are apt to be more professional. TBC members recognize the benefits of being collegial and working together (most of the time) because that helps us achieve our goals in a case or matter.
Texas Bar College members care about their communities. In the last several years alone, the College has awarded approximately $150,000 in grants to worthy projects all over Texas. These range from raising funds for lawyers in distress after natural disasters, to helping school‑aged children in Galveston, to funding scholarships for Texas Opportunity and Justice Incubator cohorts committed to serving Texans who fall into the access to justice gap, to financially supporting CLEs for regional bar associations. The Texas Bar College Endowment Fund was established in 2005 and has grown exponentially since that time because of the generosity of state‑wide lawyers. Members understand the gift of giving back to communities that support them.
In addition to over 50 years of studying and practicing law, and being a member of the Texas Bar College, Judge Kitchens has completed 876 hours of continuing legal education since March 1987, in all the areas of law the 258th District Judge handles, (criminal, civil, family, and other general areas of law), a court of general jurisdiction, as evidenced by the attached transcripts.
