Continuing Education and the Texas Jurisprudence Exam

For the 2-year renewal cycle, the licensee will need to complete 24 hours of continuing education including the completion of the Texas Jurisprudence Exam. Out of the 24 hours, 3 hours will be required in ethics.

The Texas Jurisprudence exam will become mandatory for license renewal as of January 1, 2007.
