Important Information
Social workers in Texas need to complete a total of 30 hours of continuing education every two years, including six hours of Ethics and three hours of Distinct population competency; the rest can be general CE of your choosing.
Your renewal period runs two years and ends on the last day of your birth month — not your birthday itself. Complete all required hours before that date.
