Member Benefits

  • Legislative Monitoring: The Section has contracted with the Texas Real Estate and Probate Institute (T-REP) to monitor legislation affecting our practice areas as well as the clients we serve during the legislative session and report back to REPTL the status of that legislation. In addition, from time to time, REPTL will provide practice area expert witnesses at the invitation of legislators to educate lawmakers on the pros and cons of certain bills. During and at the end of each legislative session, through its contract with T-REP, REPTL provides its members with an update on all the legislation which affects your practice area in the Members Only area of the REPTL website.

  • REPTL Reporter: The REPTL Reporter provides a wealth of information to you in the form of case law updates and articles in the areas of real estate, estate planning, probate, trust, guardianship, and elder law. Issues of The Reporter are made available to members in searchable .pdf format and can be saved for future reference.

  • REPTL Leadership Academy: We graduated our first class of the Leadership Academy in May 2017. The purpose of the program is designed to encourage the active involvement and participation of young lawyers in section activities by giving them an opportunity to become involved in substantive work of the Section, by providing networking opportunities with practitioners from all over the state, by mentoring young attorneys to develop them into future leaders, and by promoting the Section through various projects and services.
