  • TX Appraiser – Class IV (RPA)
  • TX Assessor/Collector – Class IV (RTA)
  • TX Collector – Class III (RTC)
  • TX Appraiser – Class III

This process, known as E-Exams, will allow for a faster, safer, and more convenient process for candidates to obtain a license from TDLR. 

E-Exams are conducted in a virtual environment that has a remote proctor utilizing secure and sophisticated technology to observe the test taker by using their own computer, webcam video, and audio to confirm their identity and allow the candidate to complete the required licensing examination in a controlled environment.

Please note that no changes were made, and Property Tax Professionals program registrants are still required to obtain continuing education (CE) credits as specified in the program rules.

]]> COVID-19: Continuing Education Waived https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/news/2020/03/24/covid-19-continuing-education-waived/ TDLR-WP-POST-ID-154 Tue, 24 Mar 2020 21:46:00 +0000 TDLR continuing education requirements are waived for all individual licenses expiring in March, April, and May 2020. Licensees still need to submit their renewal applications, pay the required fees, and TDLR will check their criminal histories, but they will not need to complete any TDLR-required continuing education this licensing cycle. (§51.405, Occupations Code)

Note: TDLR is not authorized to waive continuing education requirements imposed by a certifying or credentialing entity other than TDLR. If a certifying entity requires continuing education to maintain certification, and certification is required for Texas licensure, then that continuing education must be completed. If the certifying entity waives continuing education or allows it to be completed on a delayed basis due to COVID-19, then you may follow the certifying entity’s policy.

Please check the TDLR COVID-19 webpage for the most up-to-date information.
