TAPA is an alliance of Texas paralegal associations, which was formed in 1982 when representatives of local paralegal associations in Texas met to exchange ideas and establish a network for communication and support. The Alliance now includes 25 participating associations which work together to further the profession by monitoring and participating in the paralegal profession, maintaining a statewide communications network among paralegal associations and other members of the legal community, as well as encouraging the enhancing continued education and professional growth of legal assistants in Texas. TAPA now meets once a year in different cities throughout Texas and each association gives a verbal and written presentation on their association’s professional growth and progress.
The 2008 TAPA Conference was held in Fort Worth, April 4-5. Everyone had a wonderful time, meeting and reconnecting with friends from paralegal associations around the State. Lots of brainstorming and networking ensued! We are looking forward to next year's conference in Texarkana.
