Continuing-education requirements for Insurances in Texas

Resident general lines/life individual agents must complete 24 hours of continuing education every two years, including 3 hours of ethics (2 hours if the license expired on or before Aug 31, 2022). At least half (12 hours) must be earned in a classroom or classroom-equivalent setting. TDI groups courses only as "General" and "Ethics" and does not divide them by line of authority, so no separate long-term care, annuity-suitability, or flood CE mandate is published for the standard resident producer license. Some limited license types (e.g., county mutual, limited lines) require only 10 hours.

A $25 late fee applies if the fee is not paid by the expiration date; the license can typically be renewed late within a grace window before lapsing. The $50 fee and 24-hour CE requirement apply to general lines and life agents; CE hours and fees can differ for limited/specialty license types.
