TexasBarBooks Recognized by ACLEA

Annually, the international organization Association for Continuing Legal Education (ACLEA) offers “best” awards in five categories that recognize the contributions of its professional member organizations. TexasBarBooks has received three of only 18 awards granted to competitors representing more than 300 organizations.

TexasBarBooks was chosen for the Award for Professional Excellence in the Marketing Category for enhancing our online presence in order to provide easily accessible information about our products and services to customers through the TexasBarBooks.net website. The award for Professional Excellence is the top prize; only one is awarded in each category of prizes.

TexasBarBooks was chosen for an Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Publications Category for Essentials of Texas Water Resources. Published in October 2009, Essentials of Texas Water Resources brings together a number of experts, including experts outside the legal profession, to address the subject of water resources from a variety of perspectives.

Finally, TexasBarBooks was chosen for an Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Public Interest Category for our “TexasBarBooks’ Books 4 Pro Bono” initiative, which offers free and deeply discounted Texas Family Law Practice Manuals to lawyers who attend the “Family Law Essentials for $200 or Free” seminar and agree to take on pro bono cases in underrepresented areas of the state.

The awards will be presented at ACLEA’s 46th Annual Meeting, which will take place in New York City at the end of July.

Our Transition From CD-ROMs to Digital Downloads

Post image for Our Transition From CD-ROMs to Digital Downloads

We are excited to announce that TexasBarBooks is making the transition from CD-ROMs to downloadable digital products. Not only will this allow us to release our titles more quickly, but it is another way we can reduce our environmental impact.

This transition means:

  • Easier Access. You can stop lugging your CD-ROMS around with you. You’ll be able to access your library of digital titles from anywhere you have a computer with an internet connection.
  • Availability on Demand. When you purchase TexasBarBooks products online, you will be able to instantly download the digital product—no more waiting for your CD-ROM to be shipped.
  • Faster Publication Time. By eliminating the CD-ROM production time, we can now publish titles and get them into your hands much faster.
  • Up-To-Date Information. Downloadable products allow us to more efficiently provide you with updates.
  • Less Environmental Impact. By eliminating CD-ROMs fewer materials are consumed during production, and no outdated CDs will be sent to landfills when the book’s next edition is released.

The digital products will contain all of the great content that you’ve come to expect from TexasBarBooks in a format that’s faster, easier and greener. (And if you really miss shiny plastic discs, you can easily burn your own CD-R from the digital files!)

Look For This Symbol…

Any products that are marked with this symbol are available as a digital product and can be purchased and downloaded immediately!
