Continuing Education Requirements by License TypeThe table below summarizes the continuing education requirements for license holders: For all licenses except Escrow officer licenses renewing on and after September 30, 2022, which formerly required 2 hours of ethics continuing education (CE) hours during each license period, must complete 3 hours of ethics. 24 hours of continuing education is required for each license period. For all licenses issued or renewing on and after November 1, 2015, completion of the 24 hours of CE is required for a licensee to renew his license. If a licensee does not complete the 24 hours of CE before the expiration date of the license, the licensee will have 90 days to complete the deficient number of hours and pay a fine of $50 per deficient hour. If these two conditions are not met within 90 days of the license expiring, the license will be inactivated, and the licensee will have to apply for a new license. A new license will not be granted until the deficient CE hours are completed and the fine is paid. In order to ensure that there is no delay in renewing a license, license holders are encouraged to complete CE hours at least 30 days before the license expires to allow time for the CE provider to report the successful completion of the course(s) to TDI.
All Licensees: At least half the hours must be classroom or "classroom equivalent." There are only two topic groups, "General" and "Ethics." Any licensee may take courses from these two groups. Courses are not divided by license type. What Counts as Credit Toward CE Requirements?Typically, credit is earned by taking courses that have been approved by TDI from registered course providers. Each course will indicate the number of hours and whether any count toward the ethics requirement. Other ways to earn CE credit: Passing a part of many professional designation programs is a way to earn credit. A professional designation program is defined in the 28 TAC §19.1010. It is (A) nationally recognized in the insurance industry, and is (B) issued by an entity that maintains a not-for-profit status and has been in existence for at least five years. Up to four hours of continuing education credit can be earned by an agent who is an active member of a state or national insurance association. For information about how the credit can be earned, review Chapter 4004.0535 of the Texas Insurance Code and §19.1011 and new §19.1020 of the Texas Administrative Code. The rules adopting the provisions can be viewed here; 28 TAC §§19.1011, 19.1020 and 19.1021. "Qualifying" courses, not certified by TDI, may also be used for credit, as described in 28 TAC §19.1010. Qualifying courses are insurance courses that are: (A) offered for credit by accredited colleges, universities, or law schools; (B) part of a national designation certification program; (C) approved for classroom, classroom equivalent, or participatory credit by the continuing education approval authority of a state bar association or state board of public accountancy; or (D) certified or approved for continuing education credit under the guidelines of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation. Exemptions from, and extensions of time for a licensee to complete CE hours are possible, under very limited circumstances. The key to an extension being granted is proper documentation of a circumstance described in the rule that is beyond the licensee's control. Examples include a long term illness, or military service in a theater of war. Reasons related to business or work load are never acceptable. Documentation is also important when claiming an exemption from continuing education hours if our records do not show current eligibility. The 20 years of licensure needed to qualify for an exemption must be CONTINUOUS (no breaks greater that 90 days) and the license must be held under the Texas Insurance Code. To request an exemption from completing CE hours, or an extension of time to complete CE hours, submit TDI form FIN517, Application for Licensee Exemption or Extension form.
