Ready for What’s Next.
Where CLEAT Started
A handful of Texas officers believed representation should answer to members.
Not politics. Not pressure. Not compromise.
They built CLEAT on the principle that those who protect Texas deserve unwavering legal defense and a strong, independent voice.
That principle has never changed.
50 Years of Impact
• Over 28,000 members across Texas
• Proven courtroom defense
• Legislative power in the Capitol
• Bargaining support and local representation
• Critical incident response when it matters most
For 50 years, CLEAT has defended careers, protected due process, and stood firm for the profession.
When our members need representation, CLEAT answers.
Member Funded. Member Focused.
CLEAT has remained independent for five decades.
That means our priorities are shaped by members, not outside interests, entities, or groups.
Our voice is strong because it is backed by those we represent.
When we stand in a courtroom or at the Capitol, we stand without compromise.
And our mission isn’t finished.
A new generation of Texas law enforcement officers is stepping forward. New challenges are emerging. New battles are being fought in courtrooms and legislative chambers.
The next 50 years will demand strength, unity, and proven defense, and CLEAT is already prepared.
