Texas Cosmetology Continuing Education Requirements

Texas cosmetology professionals must complete TDLR-approved continuing education as part of the license renewal process. For most licensees, this means completing 4 hours of continuing education every two years before renewing a Texas cosmetology license.

Our Texas Cosmetology 4-Hour CE Renewal Course includes the required training in Human Trafficking Awareness and Sanitation, along with continuing education in Customer Service & Professional Ethics and Basic Business Skills & Establishment Management.

Cosmetology professionals who have held a Texas license for 15 years or more may qualify to complete only 2 hours of continuing education, covering Human Trafficking Awareness and Sanitation. Our Texas Cosmetology 2-Hour Veteran CE Renewal Course is designed specifically for qualifying long-term Texas licensees.

Cosmetology-CE.com is a TDLR-approved continuing education provider (#2499), and our online courses are designed to make completing your Texas cosmetology CE requirements simple and convenient.

What Happens After You Complete Your Texas Cosmetology CE?

Completing your continuing education is an important step toward renewing your Texas cosmetology license, but your license is not automatically renewed when you finish your course.

After you successfully complete your course requirements, you will receive access to your course completion certificate for your records. We will also report your completed continuing education to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) within 24 hours.

Once your continuing education has been reported, you can complete the license renewal process directly with TDLR and pay the applicable state renewal fee.

We recommend keeping a copy of your course completion certificate for your records. If you have questions about your course completion or certificate, our team is available to help.
