    If you provided a bar card number with your course registration, we will report your hours for you within one business day after we receive notification that you have completed the course. Please note that the video must go all the way to the end to receive credit. You may verify that the hours were reported by viewing your bar page on the State Bar of Texas website, www.texasbar.com.

    If you do not have a bar card number, you should keep a copy of your Certificate of Completion to report your hours. The Certificate of Completion will appear when you complete the course. You will be responsible for reporting the hours to the State Bar once you receive a bar card number. If you are completing the Justice James A Baker Guide to Ethics and Professionalism in Texas course, you will also be responsible for contacting our office with your bar card number so that we may update our records and notify the Texas Supreme Court that you have completed the course.

    If you are reporting your own MCLE hours, you can report them on your Bar Page on the State Bar website with the course number found on the Certificate of Completion.
