Justices of the Peace in Texas Get Educated
Texas justices of the peace are pursuing more training with 418 enrolling in courses statewide. A College Station program drew 102 participants, part of wider sessions in Lubbock Arlington Longview and San Antonio since 1972. The Texas Criminal Justice Council funds the training, and the A&M Engineering Extension Service runs it. The aim is to raise service quality as 65 percent of P s are expected to complete the second round and mandatory 40-hour courses target new terms.
