Player received a Certificate of Achievement from the County Judges and Commissioners Association of Texas (CJCAT), sponsor of the Commissioners Court Advanced Curriculum Program, at the CJCAT Annual Conference in Corpus Christi Oct. 5-8.

While state law only requires 16 hours per year of continuing education for county commissioners, the Commissioners Court Advanced Curriculum Program provides for certification upon completion of the comprehensive, four-year course of study as follows: • Phase I Orientation - 16 hours • Phase II Basics - 16 hours • Phase III and IV Electives - 32 hours

The CJCAT, a statewide organization with more than 1,200 active members, promotes the interests of county government by providing the opportunity for continuing education.
