What are the requirements to become a Texas court reporter?
In order to become certified in this state you must either take and pass the state certification exam, or be certified by endorsement. The exam consists of part A (the skills portion) and part B (the written knowledge portion). Texas does not allow passing the skills exam in legs; i.e., the literary, jury charge, and Q&A must all be passed at the same time. For the endorsement option you must be certified by a state whose certification requirements are substantially equivalent to those of Texas. If deemed eligible for certification by endorsement you may become certified in Texas by passing only the written knowledge portion of the exam. Please refer to the ‘CSR Exam Information’ link on our homepage for details on the exam and certification. Refer to the ‘Endorsements Log’ link on our homepage for a list of states that are eligible or ineligible for endorsement.
