Just want to share a detailed timeline on the TX Certificate process as I was very impatient on waiting (I checked email/my online profile several times a day, just like I did when I checked my scores : P ) . Hope this might be helpful to some of you 🙂

* 3/1/17- I did the four hour ethics course online to get it over with.
* 3/23/17 – Had my fingerprints done at IdentoGo and have the Oath of Office notarized .
* 3/27/17- The Board received the items listed below
– Application for Issuance
– $50 check for the certification fee
– Notarized Oath of Office
– Work experience form filled out by employer
§ – A statement of my CPA supervisor work experience
– My job description
– Certificate of completion of the required four hour ethics course
* 3/30/17 – my online profile was updated to show that the Board received certification fee .
* 4/5/17 – Received Rules of Professional Conduct exam via email.
* 4/6/17 – I completed it (required to return it within 48 hours). Once I submitted the answer, the system showed the score.
* 4/11/17 – All other fields on my online candidate profile were updated (rules of professional conduct score, months of experience, etc) except for the certificate name field
* 4/14/17 – Received an email from the Board that my license was approved along with my license number, and the email included a notice to go online and pay a licensing fee ($38.50).

In total it took roughly 3 weeks from the time they received my application packet to the time I was able to call myself a CPA. Good luck to everyone!

• During the process, I emailed Qualifications Team 2 times to check my status, the person who helped me is patient and responded my email timely. Really applicate that. : )

FAR 87 (8/19/11)
AUD 83 (11/19/11)
Reg 82 (2/25/12)
