YOUR SAN ANTONIO BAR ASSOCIATION
Dear Colleague:
The San Antonio Bar Office is open and operating remotely. We can be reached at by phone 210-227-8830 or click HERE to access the staff directory for direct dial numbers and an email contact form.
The SABA Board of Directors and SABA staff pledge that SABA will:
- Serve as a reliable portal for official court and procedure updates;
- Serve as the central voice of the San Antonio legal community to our elected officials; and
- Provide useful information and tools to our attorneys and law practice owners.
Your participation is important to us and we are currently investigating additional resources that may be useful to our SABA community as we manage this crisis. Please monitor your email for notices of free webinars and resources as we add them. If you have a request or suggestion, please share it with us at info@sabar.org.
