Reporting Credits

You are responsible for maintaining a record of your completed continuing education courses for a period of five years.

When you renew your license, you could be selected for a random audit. If you receive notice of an audit, then you will be asked to provide proof of completing your continuing education, which may include a course certificate, a school transcript, or other documentation verifying your attendance, participation, and completion of the course. Do not send proof of continuing education completion when renewing your license unless specifically requested by TDLR.

If selected for audit, your license renewal cannot be issued until all required continuing education documents are received, accepted, and approved by TDLR.
