Court Reporters Certification

Exam 

Applicants are solely responsible for ensuring they know all information required to take the exam, by ensuring to utilize all resources available to them (i.e., our website, rules, communications submitted to them by staff, etc.).

Inquiries Regarding Exam Registration Paperwork

Exam registration paperwork is not submitted to the JBCC; therefore, staff would not be able to assist with inquiries regarding this paperwork. Please refer to the exam vendor's website for information regarding this matter.

Exam Dates and Deadlines

Applications must be received by the established deadline date. If forms are incomplete, missing documentation, or are not received by the deadline, the applicant will be considered ineligible to take the current CSR exam and must reapply for the next exam. Once exam registration closes no further exam items will be accepted.

Please continue to check the schedule below for future dates. Additional dates are added, per calendar year, once confirmed. The dates listed below are the first day the exam is given; exams may be offered over one, two, or three days, depending on the number registrants and availability. Refer to TCRA's website for additional information.

Important Note: If new exam dates are not posted, please wait to apply until the dates are listed as you will be required to include the date on your application. Exam dates are posted once confirmed by the exam vendor. You may also refer to their website for information as well.
