Did you know the median hourly rate for an attorney in Texas is more than $250? That’s more than the annual cost ($235) of a 2023-24 ATPE professional membership—and in one hour, you would hardly have time to explain the employment situation you are facing, let alone discuss potential solutions.

That’s why ATPE membership provides such an incredible value to Texas educators. In addition to ATPE’s public education advocacy, professional learning opportunities, and exclusive menu of services and discounts, eligible members have access to professional liability insurance and employment rights protection benefits* that include:

• Up to $8 million in professional liability insurance, subject to policy limits.

• Employment rights defense insurance that pays attorney fees for eligible members, win or lose, in defense of covered employment action claims.

Separate from the insured benefits, ATPE employs more staff attorneys than any other Texas educator association to assist eligible members with employment-related legal concerns. ATPE’s assistance is quick, confidential, available in English or Spanish, and included in your annual membership dues.
