Yes. Texas no longer provides a continuing education exemption based on age.
If you're 65 or older, you'll still complete the required CE for your license. The number of hours you need depends on how long you've held your license, not your age.
In the past, some Texas Barbering and Cosmetology license holders qualified for an age based continuing education exemption.
That exemption has been removed.
Today, all license holders must complete continuing education to renew their license.
Your CE requirement is based on how long you've held your Texas license.
Complete the 4 Hour CE Course, which includes:
• 1 Hour Sanitation
• 1 Hour Human Trafficking Prevention
• 2 Hours Barbering and Cosmetology related topics
Complete the 2 Hour CE Course, which includes:
• 1 Hour Sanitation
• 1 Hour Human Trafficking Prevention
Your age doesn't change this requirement.
It's common to hear that turning 65 means you no longer need continuing education.
That was true under previous rules, but it no longer applies.
Today, the only reduced CE requirement is based on holding your Texas Barbering and Cosmetology license for 15 years or more.
Being over 65 doesn't exempt you from continuing education.
Simply choose the course that matches your license history, complete your CE online, and renew your Texas license with confidence.
