TDLR Waives Continuing Education, Other Requirements for Texas Orthotic and Prosthetic Professionals

TDLR Waives Continuing Education, Other Requirements

TDLR continuing education requirements are waived for all individual licenses expiring in March, April, May, and June 2020.

Licensees still need to submit their renewal applications, pay the required fees, and TDLR will check their criminal histories, but they will not need to complete any TDLR-required continuing education this licensing cycle. (§51.405, Occupations Code)

Note: TDLR is not authorized to waive continuing education requirements imposed by a certifying or credentialing entity other than TDLR. If a certifying entity requires continuing education to maintain certification, and certification is required for Texas licensure, then that continuing education must be completed.

If the certifying entity waives continuing education or allows it to be completed on a delayed basis due to COVID-19, then you may follow the certifying entity’s policy.

The only two certifying entities for individuals who are licensed in prosthetics and orthotics would be:
