2026 TxPELRA Civil Service 101: Confidence, Clarity & Compliance

August 5, 2026 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM (CDT)

Description

Handling civil service matters shouldn’t feel intimidating. Yet for many city leaders, HR professionals, attorneys, and civil service commission members across Texas, navigating civil service law, particularly under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 143, can feel complex, technical, and high-risk.

This one-day seminar is designed specifically for decision-makers and managers who are responsible for civil service employees but may not feel fully confident in the legal framework or those who would like to sharpen their knowledge.

You will leave this session with:

  • A better understanding of the foundations of Texas civil service law
  • Greater confidence in navigating hiring, promotion, discipline, and injury-related decisions
  • Practical tools to avoid common pitfalls
  • Clarity on roles, authority, and compliance boundaries

 Who Should Attend?

  • Human Resources Directors
  • Civil Service Directors
  • City Managers & Assistant City Managers
  • City Attorneys
  • Civil Service Commission Members
  • Police & Fire Chiefs
