Texas PT and PTA license renewal and continuing competence
The Texas Board of Physical Therapy Examiners states that Texas PTs and PTAs must complete continuing competence activities “for PTs, 30 units (CCUs) during each two-year renewal cycle, for PTAs, 20 units (CCUs).”

Source read on November 12, 2026: the board’s Continuing Competence Activities page on the Texas Executive Council of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Examiners site. It points to PT Rules §341.2 and §341.3; the rules themselves were not read for this page.
Required items
“All licensees must complete the Jurisprudence Assessment Module (TX JAM) and an HHS-approved Human Trafficking Prevention Training course as part of their total continuing competence requirements.” Courses on ethics or professional responsibility “must include material specific to Texas rules”.
Approval and timing
Activities must be approved through the Texas Physical Therapy Association’s Continuing Competence Approval Program or presented by an accredited provider (paraphrased). Credit used to renew “must be approved by TPTA prior to the renewal of a license, and must be completed within the two years preceding the license expiration date.” The page states: “The Board has defined one contact hour as equal to 1 continuing competence unit (CCU).”
Audits
“The Board performs a quarterly CC audit of licenses renewed in the last quarter.” College courses must carry “a letter grade of C or higher to be acceptable.” The page read does not name a record retention period or a carryover allowance.
What this page does not do
It covers the state physical therapy license only, and only what the official page or pages named above say. It does not list fees and does not replace the board’s own instructions. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
