SPECIAL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES IMPLEMENTED DUE TO COVID-19

Questions submitted by email must contain the name and phone number for the individual. Failure to include this information may hinder the agency's ability to respond in a timely manner.

Military Service Members, Veterans, and Spouses
The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists honors and supports our military personnel and veterans returning to civilian life and wishes to thank them for the sacrifices that they and their families have made on behalf of our nation. The skills that men and women acquire in the Armed Forces are valuable. These skills may benefit an individual that decides to pursue a career in psychology.
In accordance with Section 55.009, Occupations Code, the Board provides notice that it has adopted rules that:
- Assist active duty, former and retired military personnel to receive the credit they earned for military training and education;
- Extend renewal dates for military personnel, veterans, and spouses;
- Recognize prior licensure in this state;
- Recognize substantially equivalent licensure from other jurisdictions; and
- Waive application and examination fees for military personnel, veterans, and spouses.
