TEX-ABOTA Santa Fe CLE Roundup, Annual Dinner and Board Meeting 2023
Eldorado Hotel and Spa, Santa Fe, New Mexico
June 15 - 18, 2023


Tim Newsom Welcome to beautiful Santa Fe!

We are delighted you could join us for our TEX-ABOTA Roundup and Annual Meeting in Santa Fe! We hope you find the program so unique, thought provoking, and fun that you will return every year. Our special thanks to Dicky Grigg, who continues his magic of arranging exciting speakers and providing the best CLE, and to our Executive Director, Tammy Miller, and her crew for their creativity, dedication and hard work in making this weekend happen. We are blessed to have a number of corporate and law firm sponsors that have generously given their time and resources to make our Roundup a success! Please make a special effort to acknowledge and express your appreciation to each of the sponsors.

In addition to our CLE, enjoy our outdoor venues in Santa Fe with live music. Join us on the Presidential Terrace with a live Mexican Trio for the Welcome Reception on Thursday night. Enjoy walking around the square of Santa Fe with multiple music venues and art galleries. Our Santa Fe excursions offer something for everyone: trying your hand at glass blowing, playing a round of golf at Las Campanas, improving your culinary skills at the world famous Santa Fe School of Cooking, or taking a guided tour of Santa Fe focusing on the historic plaza uncovering events from the Native American, Spanish, Mexican and United States periods.

Once again, we are honored to be joined by our special guests from FLABOTA, our National ABOTA President, our ABOTA Foundation President, and of course, our CLE speakers.

Congratulations to:

Jurist of the Year
The Honorable Darlene Byrne

Trial Lawyer of the Year
Don Jackson

Champion of Civil Justice
Dean A.J. Bellido de Luna


Come celebrate as we honor these award winners and others at our Awards Dinner Saturday night and plan to dance the night away to DIAMOND EMPIRE!

Altitude challenges? Step into our own oxygen bar to help you acclimate! Hours are Thursday, 12pm - 4pm, and Friday, 10am - 2pm.

Below is a schedule of events, which you will also find in your packet, and a handy QR code, which will direct you to the TEX-ABOTA Santa Fe CLE Roundup website.

Thank you again for coming and sharing your time with TEX-ABOTA. We look forward to spending an exceptional weekend together in Santa Fe!
