TITLE 22EXAMINING BOARDS
PART 21TEXAS STATE BOARD OF EXAMINERS OF PSYCHOLOGISTS
CHAPTER 463APPLICATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS
RULE §463.2Application Process

Applications for licensure are processed in the following manner:

  (1) An individual requests the application packet for the type of licensure desired and includes the fee for the Board to send the application packet. No applicant can have more than one application pending before the Board at one time, with the exception of the licensed specialist in school psychology application.

  (2) An applicant submits the completed application form, any other information required by the Board, and the application filing fee. An application which contains an incorrect fee amount or which does not include the information required to be submitted must be returned to the applicant. The responsibility of ensuring a complete application resides with the applicant. The application packet will contain a checklist which should be followed carefully. An incomplete application remains in the active file for 90 days, at the end of which time, if still incomplete, it is void. If licensure is sought again, a new application and filing fee must be submitted.

  (3) Applications which contain all required information are reviewed by the Applications Committee of the Board to determine if the applicants are eligible to sit for the examinations.

  (4) Once an applicant is reviewed by the Applications Committee of the Board, the applicant receives a letter from the Board approving or denying the applicant to sit for the examinations. If the letter indicates the applicant is approved, the applicant may then submit an examination application and the appropriate fees for any required examinations.

  (5) After sitting for examination(s), an applicant is informed in writing of the results of the examination(s). An applicant who has passed the examination(s) is informed in writing that the applicant has been licensed.
