Details
Finish your hours before your license expires or you'll pay a late renewal fee. Renewal opens 60 days before your expiration date.
A clock hour is 50 minutes of instruction.
Up to 10 extra hours can roll into your next renewal period, and 2 of those can be ethics.
TDLR accepts courses from providers approved by ASHA, TSHA, AAA or TAA. The human trafficking course gives a certificate that is not CE. Keep it in case TDLR asks.
Texas accepts courses from ASHA-approved providers, so the free courses below can count, within the limits above.
Free courses to look at
3 courses. Checked as listed. Offers change, so confirm on the course page before you start.
ASHA counts hours and CEUs. 1 hour is 0.1 CEU, so ASHA’s 30 hours is 3.0 CEUs. Texas’s rules above are in hours. Those are the ones that apply to your license.

About ableU rows. Free to take. If you want ableU to report it to ASHA for you, ASHA charges a Registry fee. You can skip that. Keep your certificate and report the hours yourself.
ASHA is separate
Your license and your ASHA CCC have separate rules. ASHA wants 30 hours every 3 years. Here's how ASHA maintenance works.
