Texas CPA CPE Requirements for Annual Renewal and Ethics

Texas CPA CPE requirements generally use a rolling three-year total of 120 hours, with at least 20 hours earned annually. Texas CPA license renewal is annual, due on the final day of each licensee’s birth month. A four-hour Board-approved Texas CPA ethics course is required every two years; an online class qualifies only when the course has Board approval. 


Report Texas CPE courses through the Board’s Online Services portal upon completion, rather than waiting for renewal. Check course classifications carefully, since nontechnical credits cannot exceed half the three-year requirement, and retain completion records for the five most recent reporting periods."
