The Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation adopted amendments to existing rules at 16 Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Chapter 110, ยงยง110.24, 110.30, and 110.70, regarding the Athletic Trainers program.
The adopted rules amend the license renewal process to add an affirmation by the licensee that all services provided will be directed by a qualified health professional, with those written directives kept current. The adopted rules also update the temporary licensing requirements to first require passage of the written examination, with the expiration of the temporary license coming on the last day of the month of the next scheduled practical examination. Finally, the adopted rules update the standards of practice to include a physician-delegated authority document.
The adoption justification was published in the May 23, 2025, issue of the Texas Register (50 TexReg 3125). The updated rule chapter will be available in the Texas Administrative Code upon its effective date of June 1, 2025.
