Mission statment

WELCOME

Welcome to the Bankruptcy Law Section of the State Bar of Texas.  Please be on the lookout for upcoming events here.  We also hope to post news about our diversity and inclusion committee soon.

A Message from the Chair

Welcome to the Bankruptcy Law Section of the State Bar of Texas.  Our section is comprised of diverse and talented business and consumer restructuring professionals who routinely collaborate with each other to stay abreast of bankruptcy law developments, network, and strengthen and grow not only the profession but also members’ personal and professional connections within the Texas restructuring community.  This website has a plethora of resources for section members, including an upcoming events calendar for all bankruptcy related meetings and events, a semiannual section newsletter, and community outreach opportunities across the lone star state.  Your section dues help facilitate a broad array of free programming and networking opportunities for members as well as funding for several non-profit projects and organizations in Texas for bankruptcy law-related matters.  We have multiple programs and opportunities to volunteer your time and talent, whether it’s mentoring students interested in the practice (i.e., Moneywise, Elliott Cup and our pipeline program), or assisting individuals needing pro bono assistance (i.e., law school pro bono clinics and veterans assistance programs).  We also recently established a section scholarship for deserving law students interested in practicing bankruptcy law in Texas.  The section also offers consumer and business-focused CLE opportunities, many of which are free and accessible to members online.  We welcome financial professionals to join the section, who may enjoy our numerous benefits, by contacting our non-lawyer member advisor.  If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding the section and our programs, please feel free to reach out to me to discuss.  And, if you are a restructuring professional that is not already a member of the section, please sign up today!
