"A Celebration of Stars"


Join us as we celebrate the "Stars of the Bail Bond Industry" – YOU – at the 2008 annual convention, October 30 – November 1 at the Menger Hotel in San Antonio .  The Professional Bondsmen of Texas is more than an organization; it's people who can make a difference. 

Our theme – Celebration of Stars – is supported by the variety of sessions and experiences offered and the overall environment of our conference.  The Convention Committee has been busy planning Oscar-winning programs that offer something for everyone in the bail bond industry. 

So mark your calendars now and plan to attend this exciting conference!  The convention registration brochure will be mailed in late August and information will be added to the website as well.

We look forward to seeing you in San Antonio for this star-studded convention!
