A four-hour ethics course every two years. All providers, including NASBA sponsors, must register with the Texas State Board.
Four hours every two years. This runs on its own two-year cycle, independent of the three-year rolling period that governs your other 120 hours.
Not on its own. The course must be approved directly by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy and appear on its approved list — approval by NASBA or by another state board is not sufficient.
Licences renew on the last day of your birth month, annually. The CPE reporting period ends on that same date across a three-year rolling period.
Yes. The four ethics hours count toward the overall triennial total.
Possibly not. A licensee who does not reside in Texas, has no Texas clients, and is current with the ethics requirements of their state of residence is not required to complete the Texas ethics course.
The course must appear on the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy's list of approved ethics courses. Provider registration with the Board is not the same thing as course approval, so confirm the specific course is listed before relying on it.
