Are NCRA-approved CE credits recognized by state certification boards?
Not automatically. It varies by state. In any case, certification boards are typically overworked and underfunded. If you need to ask a certification board to recognize the tutorials NCRA continuing education credits, please do not wait until the last minute. If youre a reporter in Texas, you will need to submit a CE application to the Court Reporters Certification Board, just as you submit one to the NCRA. Typically, the TCRCB charges $25 to process applications submitted before September 30th each year and $50 for applications submitted after September 30th. Naturally, they want to avoid getting overwhelmed with paperwork at the end of the year.
