You may also download audio MP3s of the archived course topics and listen at your convenience, returning to TexasBarCLE.com to claim MCLE credit when you’re done. (The archived course will become available about 6-8 weeks after the live event and be online for about a year. Give us your e-mail address when you preregister and we’ll notify you when the archive is available and how to access it.)
