| (a) The following special considerations are applicable
to a military member, military spouse, or military veteran that applies
for an administrator's license:
(1) In addition to Licensing's authority to waive prerequisites
for an administrator's license in §745.8913 of this subchapter
(relating to Can my licensure in another state qualify me for an administrator's
license?), the Associate Commissioner for Licensing or a designee
may waive any prerequisite to get an administrator's license if you
held an administrator's license in Texas within five years preceding
the application date and your credentials provide compelling justification
that your experience and education qualifies you to act as an administrator;
(2) The Associate Commissioner for Licensing or a designee
must:
(A) Credit a military member, military spouse, or military
veteran for verified military service, training, education, or clinical
or professional experience that meets a requirement for a license
under this subchapter; and
(B) Substitute any demonstrated competency a military
member, military spouse, or military veteran has that the Associate
Commissioner or a designee determines to meet the qualifications;
and
(3) Licensing will waive the application and examination
fees for:
(A) A military member, military spouse, or military
veteran whose military service, training, education, or experience
substantially meets the requirements for a license under this subchapter;
or
(B) A military member, military spouse, or military
veteran who holds a current license issued by another state whose
license requirements are substantially equivalent to the requirements
for a license under this subchapter as determined by Licensing under §745.8914
of this subchapter (relating to How does Licensing determine whether
another state’s licensing requirements are substantially equivalent
to the requirements for an administrator’s license under this
subchapter?).
(b) If Licensing issues an administrator's license
to you under subsection (a)(1) or (2) of this section, the license
will be a full license and not a provisional license.
(c) To be eligible for any special consideration under
subsection (a)(1) or (2) of this section, you must not be prohibited
from receiving or continuing to maintain an administrator's license,
as specified in §745.775(c) of this chapter (relating to How
may a criminal conviction or a child abuse or neglect finding affect
my ability to receive or maintain an administrator's license?).
