8/17/21 UPDATE: The first “Casemaker to Fastcase” webinar was recorded, and that video is available here.

8/09/21 ORIGINAL POST:
The State Bar of Texas has provided free access to legal research through both Fastcase and Casemaker as a member benefit for many years. In January, Fastcase and Casemaker merged and will be combining to offer a comprehensive set of tools and products under one platform: Fastcase. Soon Texas lawyers will see new innovations in citator, docket analytics, and workflow tools, maximizing your bar member benefit.
What this means for Texas lawyers
Currently, Texas lawyers still have access to both Casemaker and Fastcase through their State Bar of Texas membership. If you have been using Casemaker exclusively, we encourage you to start using Fastcase and explore the platform. Access to the Casemaker platform is expected to end on September 1, 2021.
