Is there a grace period after CE expiration in Texas?

Is there a grace period after CE expiration in Texas?

• A. No grace period; a violation exists once the expiration date passes
• B. Yes, a two-month grace period is allowed
• C. Yes, a 30-day grace period is allowed
• D. Only for first-time licensees is a grace period allowed

Answer: (A)

In Texas, continuing education must be completed by the license renewal date; there is no grace period after CE expiration. If you miss the CE deadline, you’re out of compliance and cannot renew or legally transact insurance until you complete the required CE and go through the reinstatement/renewal process with any applicable fees. There isn’t an automatic short-term window for compliance, and this applies to all licensees, not just new ones.
