Texas justices of the peace, constables conference comes to El Paso
Justices of the peace and county constables from across Texas will gather in El Paso for the 81st Annual Justices of the Peace and Constables Association Education Conference.
Justices and constables from more than 80 counties are expected at the 2025 JPCA conference June 23-27, which features professional development, education courses, training and networking, the office of El Paso County Precinct 1 Constable Frank Almada said in a news release.
The conference is taking place at the Hotel Paso Del Norte and kicked off Monday evening with a reception at the Mexican American Cultural Center in Downtown.
This is the first time in 23 years that the JPCA conference is taking place in El Paso, which beat out Houston, Sugar Land and Conroe to host this year's gathering, Almada's office said.
The conference was brought to El Paso due to the efforts of the offices of Constable Almada, El Paso County Sheriff Oscar Ugarte and Destination El Paso, the city's tourism and convention office.
