ISSUE 03/22/2024
ACTION Final/Adopted
Preamble Texas Admin Code Rule
(a)A licensee may update a sub-doctoral degree listed on his or her official license to a doctoral degree if the licensee submits a complete application and transcript, pays the required fee, and provides any other information or supportive documentation deemed relevant by the Council.

(b)Licensees must submit an official transcript in accordance with §882.2 of this chapter indicating the date the doctoral degree was awarded or conferred. Foreign doctoral degrees must be evaluated in accordance with §882.11 of this chapter.

(c)A doctoral degree must meet the minimum degree requirements for the applicable license.

(d)An application to update the degree on a license is not an application for licensure, and therefore is not subject to any appeal or review under §882.3 of this chapter or Chapter 2001 of the Government Code. Further, the staff review and processing of an application under this rule is not subject to the processing times referenced in §882.9 of this chapter.

The agency certifies that legal counsel has reviewed the adoption and found it to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
