Renew an Inactive License or a License on Retired Status

Inactive licenses or licenses on retired status may not be renewed online.

To renew an Inactive License, the following is required:

• The Inactive Status renewal fee and any late fees that may be due paid by check or money order only
• The Jurisprudence Assessment Module
  

If you return to active status before the next renewal, you must complete the renewal process again on paper and pay the full renewal fee.  

To renew a License on Retired Status, the following is required:

• The Retired Status Application/Renewal form submitted by mail

For more information on these statuses, go to Inactive & Retired Status.

Individuals renewing their license are required to take the PT Board's new Texas Jurisprudence Assessment Module (TX JAM). The TX JAM replaces both the previous Jurisprudence (JP) Exam and the ethics/professional responsibility renewal requirement. For more information, click here.
