| Services The Texas Society for Clinical Social Work retains a lobbyist/attorney who works for our client's interests and for the social work profession in the Texas legislature. Two important bills were passed in the 2003 session:
In 2005 the Texas State Board of Social Work Examiners, the board that regulates the practice of social work in the state of Texas, underwent sunset review by the Texas State Legislature. This review takes place approximately every ten years and involves extensive information gathering and assessment before the Sunset staff submits a recommendation to the Legislature on whether the board or agency under review should be continued, modified, or abolished. TSCSW played an active role in assuring the result of the Sunset review; that the Texas State Board of Social Work Examiners will continue as an independent board regulating the practice of social work in the State of Texas.
Annual Conferences The Spring Conference features a three hour presentation on ethics, with two additional hours on relevant legal issues. Past presenters have included the Executive Director of the Texas State Board of Social Work Examiners. The Fall Conference/Retreat features a two day, ten hour presentation by nationally recognized social work clinicians on topics relevant to clinical practice. The Fall conference is held in various locations around the state and is designed to allow for socializing and networking with other social work clinicians and social workers who are working towards licensure as clinical social workers. Five CEU's are awarded
for the Spring Conference.
