Welcome to the website of the Construction Law Section of the State Bar of Texas! Our Section has over 2,500 members consisting of legal professionals from public and private sectors involved in the practice of construction law. Our membership includes licensed attorneys as well as other interested parties within the construction industry.
The Member Directory on the Section’s website includes both Members and Associate Members, non-lawyers who have an interest in construction law -- owners, developers, engineers, architects, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, insurers, sureties, and others who enjoy the benefits of membership within the Section. Anyone interested in construction law developments in Texas can join and be listed in the Section’s Directory. Of course, our website also includes the Section's Sponsors and Friends of the Section, who provide a host of services and products of interest to the Section's Members and others in the construction industry.
The Section strives to provide its Members and Associate Members with quality continuing legal education (CLE) and a forum to network with construction industry legal professionals at our CLE events. The Section is devoted to helping our Members and Associate Members stay abreast of the latest legal developments affecting the construction industry. Another popular member benefit is the monthly issue of The Change Order, outlining the prior month's major case decisions impacting the construction industry. Only current members receive this email and are able to access it on the website.
The Section sponsors a two-day Annual Construction Law Conference with over 1,000 attendees each spring, and featuring the hottest topics and leading construction law professionals in the field. The Section-sponsored Basic Course in Texas Construction Law is held in late autumn for those new to the field, or who may just want a refresher on the basics of construction law.
