Do not make your expiration date your CE plan.

Texas recommends completing CE at least 30 days before your license expiration date so your provider has time to report the successful completion. Required CE must be completed before midnight Central Time on the expiration date to avoid fines and renewal delays.

Texas completion reporting

Texas education providers report successful CE course completions through Sircon. The completion-reporting fee is $1.30 per credit hour, per student, and Bellview shows the applicable reporting charge separately at checkout.

Check your transcript

Your individual CE position matters. Use Texas/Sircon transcript tools to confirm what has posted, what you have already completed, and what you still need for the license you are renewing.

Quick answers about Texas insurance CE.

How many CE hours do Texas adjusters and major-line producers need?

Most major Texas producer and adjuster licenses require 24 hours of CE during each two-year renewal period, including 3 hours of ethics. Some license types use different totals, so confirm your specific license requirement.

Do all 24 hours have to be classroom-equivalent?

No. Texas requires at least half of the required CE hours to be classroom or classroom-equivalent. Bellview's current Texas bundles use classroom-equivalent online delivery.

Do Bellview's courses have a traditional final exam?

No traditional self-study final exam is used for these classroom-equivalent courses. Required interactive inquiries are built into the coursework.

Why does Bellview show three license paths if Texas uses General and Ethics categories?

Texas CE courses are categorized primarily as General or Ethics rather than being divided by every license type. Bellview organizes the customer experience into Adjuster, Property and Casualty Producer, and Life & Health Producer paths so the curriculum is easier to choose.

When should I complete my CE?

Texas recommends completing required CE at least 30 days before your expiration date. You must complete the required hours before midnight Central Time on the expiration date to avoid CE fines and renewal delays.

How is my completion reported?

Texas education providers report successful CE course completions through Sircon. Bellview discloses the applicable completion-reporting charge separately from the $79 course bundle price.

What if I am a nonresident or exempt licensee?

Your obligations can be different. Check your Texas CE transcript and the rules that apply to your residency, designated-home-state status, exemption, and license type before purchasing courses solely to satisfy a renewal requirement.
