Can I Use the Same CE Hours for Multiple Texas Licenses? | My CE Space

Can I use the same CE hours for multiple Texas licenses?


⚡ Quick Answer

Yes. If you hold multiple Texas Barbering and Cosmetology licenses, the CE you complete for one license satisfies the CE requirements for your other license or licenses. You do not need to repeat the same course for each license.


👀 How It Works

Texas determines your continuing education requirements based on the licenses you hold and how long you've held them.

Many Barbering and Cosmetology licenses share the same state required topics. Because of this overlap, one approved CE course can count toward multiple eligible licenses.

For example, if you hold licenses such as:

  • 💈 Barber
  • ✂️ Cosmetology Operator
  • 💅 Manicurist
  • ✨ Esthetician
  • 🌿 Esthetician/Manicurist
  • 👁️ Eyelash Extension Specialist
  • 💇🏾 Hair Weaving Specialist

...your required Sanitation and Human Trafficking hours don't need to be taken multiple times.


💡 Good to Know

The number of CE hours you need is always based on your license history, not simply how many licenses you hold.

For example, if one license has been held for less than 15 years and another has been held for 15 years or more, you'll follow the requirement for the newer license until both licenses reach the 15 year mark.
