The Council may enter into reciprocal licensing agreements
with other jurisdictions pursuant to §501.262 of the Psychologists'
Licensing Act. In determining whether the requirements for licensure,
certification, or registration in other jurisdictions are substantially
equal to those prescribed by the Psychologists' Licensing Act, for
the granting of licensure by reciprocity, the Council shall consider
the following:
(1) whether the jurisdiction's qualifications for licensure
are substantially equal to the requirements for a comparable license
under the Psychologists' Licensing Act;
(2) whether a jurisdiction will license an applicant
who would be ineligible for licensure in Texas due to a criminal history;
(3) whether the jurisdiction's cut-off score on a mutually
required examination meets or exceeds the Texas cut-off score; and
(4) whether the jurisdiction's supervised experience
requirements for a particular license provide a measure of public
protection, which at a minimum is substantially equal to the supervised
experience requirements for a comparable license under the Psychologists'
Licensing Act.
