Texas Process Server Continuing Education
A practical online renewal course is coming soon.
Certified 4 Texas is preparing a self-paced continuing education course for Texas process servers. The course is still in development and is not yet open for enrollment.
Course approval and program details are pending. No enrollment or payment is being accepted at this time.
The Course
What the course is being built to include
The planned course is designed as an 8-hour online renewal program, including ethics, Texas rules, statutes, field practice, and completion documentation. Final content and approval details may change before launch.
Structured lessons
Planned lessons will connect Texas rules and ethics requirements to the decisions process servers make in the field.
Knowledge checks
Planned quizzes and a final assessment will help students confirm their understanding before completion.
Self-paced access
The course is being designed for flexible online study with progress and participation tracking.
Completion certificate
A downloadable certificate is planned for eligible students who complete the approved course requirements.
Renewal Requirements
What the JBCC requires every two years
Before relying on any renewal summary, confirm the current requirements through the JBCC. The planned course is being developed around the following general renewal topics:
- 8 hours of approved continuing education during your two-year certification period.
- 2 of those hours must be ethics education. Ethics hours cannot be carried forward.
- Up to 4 excess non-ethics hours may carry forward to your next certification period.
- Keep your certificates for 3 years — you'll upload them with your online renewal application.
- Renew on time. Late renewal means higher fees, and certification expired over one year becomes permanently invalid.
Renewals are submitted through the JBCC online certification system.
Your Instructor
Built from field experience
Certified 4 Texas is being developed by a former Texas process server with experience handling a high-volume caseload across Jefferson and Hardin Counties. The goal is to connect legal requirements with the judgment calls, documentation, and professional standards involved in day-to-day service.
Course materials are being reviewed against the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, applicable statutes, JBCC rules, ethics standards, and relevant case law before launch.
