All – I am newly licensed in Texas but am confused on CPEs for first year of licensure. Do I need to complete a certain number of CPE hours (maybe a reduced amount since it is first year) or am I fully exempt from completing any CPEs in my first year? Thanks in advance for any help. I have reached out to the Texas board but no response, they are probably overwhelmed with COVID related questions.

Literally just received a response right after I posted on this forum:

“From the date you are certified until the following birth month. Any CPE taken during the no requirement will not count.

In your case,

2/5/20-4/30/20: no requirement

5/1/20-4/30/21: 20.00 CPE credits

5/1/21-4/30/22: 40.00 CPE credits

5/1/22-4/30/23: 40.00 CPE credits, includes 4-hr TX ethics course.

CPE Rules can also be viewed online under Chapter 523.”
