The 2026 conference is in San Antonio, Texas.
The listed audiences include attorneys, escrow officers, CPAs, legal assistants, Realtors, and the Texas Real Estate Commission.
The published program lists 23 topics across two days.
It suits escrow officers, title attorneys and legal assistants who must log continuing education for the year, since the two-day program totals 14.0 hours with 3.5 of them in ethics, and an added self-study hour completes the 15 a licensee needs. The sessions are hands-on and specific to Texas practice, from case law updates and TDI endorsements to notary rules, foreign-seller closings, minerals and eminent domain, so working closers and examiners gain more than executives wanting broad strategy. Vendors hoping for a big exhibit floor would find little in a program built around legal and compliance instruction.
Attendees at title and escrow continuing education events in Texas usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or blouses, with a jacket or sweater for cold conference rooms.
