Texas teachers: What do you do to fulfill your professional development hours requirement?

Question:I'm certified in Texas and have not taught in a public school since my certification (almost 2 yrs.) I've been in private schools. I just wanted to make sure I keep up with the 150 hr requirement so I can apply for my renewal certificate in 5 yrs. I know that most of you probably just go to the stuff required by your school but, if you know of anything else that I can use that'll count please pass it along.

Answers:
There are opportunities to get your PD requirements by attending seminars and also by reviewing dissertations. I know this latter because many who review work for those who are applying for Ph.Ds want "layman's" eyes as a fresh perspective before critically analyzing it.
I took a grad class. Even if you've already gone to grad school, you can apply it as a solid 40 hours out of 75 in New Hampshire. I don't know if it's the same, but why wouldn't it be?
