The following exemptions are available:

• Licensees who on or after January 1, 2003, have been continuously licensed for at least 20 years may apply for an exemption from the CE requirement. To apply for this exemption, licensees must submit a written request to the Department of Insurance.
• Producers may apply to the Texas Department of Insurance for an extension to receive more time to complete their CE requirement due to illness, medical disability, or circumstances beyond their control. Business reasons do not constitute circumstances beyond the producer’s control. Unless an extension has been granted, those who have not met their CE requirements by their license renewal date will be in violation of the state’s rules.
