Does anyone know when is the next swearing ceremony in TX for 2012? If I passed my last section this window, will I be able to make it to the upcoming ceremony. Thanks.

Anotherday – I called the State Board and they said the next swearing-in is in December. They also told me that I would need to have all my documentations and everything in by September 14th in order to attaend the swearing-in in December. You might want to call them just to see what they tell you, that way I will know if they were just pulling something out of their butts with me.. LOL.

Thanks for the info. I will definitely call them today. Have you done your ethic exam yt? If yes, which course would you recommend? Sorry for so having so many question. I'm just so excited since this morning when I got my passing score back. Thanks again.

I am with you! i just got my last passing score this morning as well.

I used http://www.cpethink.com and it cost like $45-50. Very easy, I downloaded the pdf, searched for the answers, entered them in the final exam, and once you are scored. You immediately get a printable certificate. It was one of the ones listed on the TSBPA website as an approved CPE sponsor. it is called “texas Ethics: An overview for texas CPAs”

So, what happens in the swearing ceremony? I'm confused. Is it required to attend? Is there food, drinks?

Class of 2012

I just talked to them and I was told that everything has to be approved by the 14th.

The state also require us to submit an Application for Issuance of the CPA Certificate and fee. This application will come in with the package that they will mail to us. Do you think we can just submit in all the other documentations and send in this application at a later time?

I really don't want to wait until June 2013 for the ceremony. btw, congratulation on your completion of all 4 sections. Looking forward to see you at the ceremony.

@Anotherday – I am not sure about submitting it at later date.

The packet says to submit it all together. And then the waiting begins again. It took about 2 1/2 weeks for them to approve my application after they received it. The ceremony is optional. If you don't go to the ceremony they will mail your certificate after the ceremony. But you do get your wallet license card right after the license is issued. Congrats again!
