Renewal and Restoration

Renewing your License - Requirements and Procedures

All Occupational Therapy Practitioners in Texas must renew their licenses every two years before their expiration at the end of the licensees’ birth month. The Board notifies all active and inactive licensees approximately two months before the licenses expire, but the ultimate responsibility for timely renewal falls on each licensee. In other words, even if you do not receive a renewal notice, you are subject to late fees and disciplinary action if you continue to practice after your license expires. Click on Renew Your License for specific instructions on how to renew your Occupational Therapy Practitioner license.

The requirements for renewal are:

1. The renewal fees: (see current fees) and completion of the renewal form, on paper or online.
2. Completion of the required Continuing Education (CE)
30 contact hours with a minimum of 15 of the CE contact hours in Type II
3. Passing score on the Jurisprudence Examination
4. Current and correct information on your home and/or business contact information (address and phone number)

Submit all items above prior to the license expiration date to avoid late fees.

• If your license expires before you receive the renewal certificate, you must stop practice until the current license is in-hand.
• If you are late 90 days or more in renewing your license, you must submit proof of your CE.
• Please see Chapter 370, License Renewal for the complete rule text regarding renewals and Chapter 367, Continuing Education for information about continuing education requirements.
• Requirements and fees are subject to change at any time due to legislative, judicial or board action.
