📝 Texas Esthetician Renewal Requirements

Texas TDLR states that barbering and cosmetology licensees must complete 4 hours of department-approved continuing education every 2 years to renew. TDLR’s current continuing education page says those hours must include 1 hour in sanitation, 1 hour in human trafficking awareness, and 2 hours in approved topics such as law and rules or mental health awareness. TDLR also says one hour of CE equals 50 minutes of actual instruction, and you cannot receive credit for taking the same course more than once during the same renewal cycle.

For licensees with 15 years or more of Texas licensure, TDLR says the additional two hours are waived, so those licensees only need 2 hours: 1 hour in sanitation and 1 hour in human trafficking awareness.
