(a) The Board may issue a provisional license to an
applicant currently licensed in another jurisdiction who seeks a license
in this state and who:
(1) In conjunction with the application for provisional
licensure, has submitted an application for licensure by examination
or licensure by credentials on the appropriate form promulgated by
the Board; and
(2) Meets the requirements of Texas Occupations Code
section 256.1013.
(b) As provided by Texas Occupations Code section 256.1013,
an applicant for provisional licensure must be sponsored by a person
who holds an appropriate license under this subtitle and with whom
the provisional licensure holder will practice during the time the
person holds a provisional license. The Board may waive the sponsorship
requirement if the Board determines that compliance with that requirement
would be a hardship to the applicant. The applicant has the burden
of demonstrating hardship.
