The registration link for the April 24, 2026 Ninth Annual Northern District of Texas Bench Bar Conference is now live and can be found here: NDTX Bench Bar Conference! The Conference will be held at a new venue—the recently opened Loews Arlington Hotel & Convention Center, purpose-built to host premier, large-scale conferences and events.

The Conference agenda is currently being finalized and, as in prior years, will feature Northern District of Texas judges and practitioners at the forefront of their respective fields. Programming will include engaging and informative CLE sessions throughout the day addressing cutting-edge and significant practice areas affecting NDTX practitioners. CLE credit will be provided (pending final approval).

As you probably know, the NDTX Bench Bar Conference is also a special annual reunion for our large district. We look forward to seeing each of our district’s seven divisions—Abilene, Amarillo, Dallas, Fort Worth, Lubbock, San Angelo, and Wichita Falls—well represented at this year’s Conference. And we look forward to making new friends that have recently joined our district or will be attending for the first time.

Following the Conference, attendees are invited to join an optional evening outing to the ballpark with NDTX lawyers, judges, and court staff to watch the Texas Rangers take on the Oakland Athletics. Tickets for the game may be purchased through the Conference registration website or via the following link (NDTX Bench Bar Night at the Ballpark).

Please register, spread the word, invite your friends and colleagues, share the registration link, and register for the Conference (NDTX Bench Bar Conference) and, if applicable, the Law Clerk Reunion taking place the evening before the Conference (NDTX Law Clerk Registry). We hope to see you there!
