✅ Who This Course Is For

This course is designed for Texas insurance agents who need approved continuing education and want a practical course focused on homeowners insurance and Texas property coverage issues.

This course is a good fit for:

✅ Texas Property and Casualty agents
✅ Texas Personal Lines agents
✅ Texas General Lines agents
✅ Agents who sell or service homeowners and dwelling policies

This is a general CEQ course with a Texas homeowners insurance focus. It is not an ethics-designated course, so if you still need your required ethics hours, make sure you also complete a TDI-approved ethics course.

✅ Texas Insurance License Renewal Requirements

Most Texas insurance agents must complete continuing education every two-year license period. For many common license types, Texas requires 24 hours of continuing education, including 3 hours of ethics. Texas also requires at least half of the required CE hours to be completed in a classroom or classroom-equivalent format.

Because this course is approved as a CEQ course, it can help satisfy the classroom-equivalent portion of the Texas insurance CE requirement.

Some limited license types may have different CE requirements, so agents should always confirm their exact requirement based on their license type and current TDI/Sircon transcript.

✅ When Do Texas Insurance Agents Have to Renew?

Texas insurance licenses renew on a two-year cycle. Your renewal deadline is based on the expiration date listed for your license.

To avoid fines and renewal delays, complete your continuing education before your license expiration date. It is best to finish CE early so there is enough time for the course completion to be reported and posted to your CE transcript.

✅ How to Renew Your Texas Insurance License

✅ Step 1: Check your CE requirement
Confirm your license type and review your CE transcript to see how many hours you still need.

✅ Step 2: Complete your required CE hours
Most Texas insurance agents need 24 CE hours per license period, including 3 ethics hours and enough classroom or classroom-equivalent hours.

✅ Step 3: Take this CEQ course online
Complete this 4-hour Texas Homeowners Insurance Overview course online at your own pace.

✅ Step 4: Receive your instant emailed certificate
After completion, your certificate is emailed to you for your records.

✅ Step 5: We report your completion
