STUDENT CONVENTION SPONSORSHIP CRITERIA & REQUEST FORM
Due no later than July 15, 2026.

REGISTRATION WINDOWS:
The earlier we know you plan to attend, the better we can plan to ensure a great event!
EARLY BIRD DEADLINE: JULY 1
REGULAR REGISTRATION DEADLINE: JULY 2 - AUGUST 1
LATE REGISTRATION DEADLINE: AUGUST 2 - SEPTEMBER 4
*After registration closes on 9/4, you must contact TCRA via phone to inquire about registration availability. We would hate for you to show up on-site and have to turn you away!

Because we plan extensively and order supplies well in advance to deliver the best possible event, we encourage early registration so you can take advantage of the lower fees while they last.

To qualify for the specific rate window:
FEES ARE ONLY GUARANTEED IF RECEIVED BY THE DEADLINE FOR YOUR SELECTED RATE WINDOW.
YOU MUST SUBMIT EITHER:
We must receive your registration form AND full payment by the cut-off (EB - 7/1, REG - 8/1, LATE - SEPT 4)
OR
We must receive your registration form AND proof that you’ve submitted a county payment request by the cut-off dates listed above. MORE INFO BELOW!

REQUIRED STEPS FOR OFFICIAL COURT REPORTERS/COUNTY PAYMENTS:
If your county is paying your registration, you must complete the steps below by the cut-off date of the pricing window you’ve selected in order for us to honor those fees. Otherwise, your rate will increase:
1. Submit your registration form to TCRA (either online or via email) AND
2. Email proof that your county payment request has been submitted requesting that they pay your registration fee (either a copy of your email to them, a copy of the PO/requestion form, etc.)
These should be emailed to: TCRAHQ@EMBARQMAIL.COM.

DO NOT rely on your county to notify us of your registration details. They typically do not forward registration forms - only payment - which may take several weeks/months for us to receive, and we must have proof in advance of your attendance and their intent to pay in order to honor the registration fee you signed up for.

When you register, you will receive an invoice automatically via email. You are responsible for submitting this invoice with your payment request to your county, as most counties will not process payment without it.
