The 4-Hour CE Requirement
Texas requires 4 hours of TDLR-approved continuing education before each annual renewal. The hours must be completed within the current license term — they do not carry over to the next cycle.
Late-Renewal Fee Schedule
| How late you renew | What it costs |
|---|---|
| Up to 90 days late | +$45 late fee (on top of renewal) |
| 91 days to 18 months late | +$60 late fee (on top of renewal) |
| More than 18 months late | Reapply from scratch |
Finish your 4 hours today and report before your deadline — no late fee.
