For Immediate Release

The Texas District and County Attorneys Foundation (TDCAF) is pleased to announce that it has received a grant award from the Texas Bar Foundation to support the production of a two-hour online legal ethics training for Texas prosecutors. The training will be produced and offered by the Texas District and County Attorneys Association.

“The profession of prosecution is a challenging one, and continued ethics training is fundamental to justice in our courts,” said Mindy Montford, the TDCAF Board President. The training will focus on common conflicts of interest faced by district and county attorneys and prosecutors’ responsibilities to balance the public’s right to know and the due process rights of a juvenile respondent or criminal defendant. The training will be available in January 2026.

Since its inception in 1965, the Texas Bar Foundation has awarded more than $30 million in grants to law-related programs. Supported by members of the State Bar of Texas, the Texas Bar Foundation is the nation’s largest charitably-funded bar foundation.
