Welcome to TEXDRA

Proudly Advocating for Pen, Voice, and Machine Reporters Since 2015!

Texas Certified Shorthand Reporters are the Gold Standard. We are the very best there is at what we do. Whether we use the pen, machine, or voice, we do it better and faster and more accurately; and we treat each litigant, attorney, and proceeding equitably, honestly, and with integrity. We protect the record. We are an integral part of the judicial system.

​Texas rules and statutes designate the Texas CSR, certified by the Supreme Court of Texas, as the sole professional who may report Texas litigation.
TEXDRA proudly represents Texas freelance court reporters and court reporting firms. Digital recording proponents conflict with our mission, and, therefore, do not meet the minimum standards required for membership.
Join us!  Support us with both your membership and your donation. Help us protect your career and the future of freelance court reporting in Texas.

TEXDRA continues to fight for you!​

TEXDRA has shown to be an example of what an association should look like, not divided but UNITED and inclusive to all who share the same common goal. - Member Annett Avelos

This was one of the best seminars I’ve ever attended.  - Sherri Andrews (March 2024 - Reporter Roundup: Boots & Hats)

The information was so well presented. It’s the first time it
was laid out that clearly for me, and I liked understanding
the touchpoints regarding the staff and how they fit into the
process and the importance of their role, regardless their
age. And the do’s and don’ts were also helpful tips!  ~ Advocacy 101 attendee

I really appreciated all of this. The info on the benefit of the
PAC was great! Helps me understand the "why" for the PAC.
:-) I was able to understand as an "intelligent sixth-grader"!
THANK YOU! ~ Advocacy 101 attendee
