Who We Are
Briefly, we were chartered in 1956 as a state association of the National Association for Legal Support Professionals (aka NALS) and have several local chapters to meet your needs closer to where you are located.
Texas ALP is the leading all-inclusive association for legal support professionals in Texas that provides continuing education and professional development programs for all of its members. Texas ALP is an integral part of the legal community, working to improve the quality and effectiveness for those support staff who work for those delivering legal services. Today, the work performed by well prepared and educated legal support professionals plays an essential role in all areas of law relating to the personal or business wellbeing of clients, and it is imperative that we remain at the top of our game through continuing legal education.
