See the official annual breakdown, the mandatory Texas law and rules hour, and which Education Pathways course satisfies your full TDLR requirement.
Every renewal year needs 8 hours total, split as shown below.
This summary reflects TDLR’s continuing education framework for ACR contractors. Requirements can change — confirm current rules at tdlr.texas.gov/acr before relying on this page.
Texas doesn’t publish one shared statewide CE deadline — your 8 hours must be completed before your individual license expiration date, and TDLR recommends starting the renewal process 30–60 days ahead of that date. Confirm your exact expiration date through your TDLR licensing account.
Only coursework from a TDLR-approved provider counts, and providers are responsible for reporting your completed hours to TDLR. Education Pathways reports completions right away — allow about 5 business days for your TDLR file to update.
Education Pathways’ Texas ACR Contractor Renewal course carries TDLR Course Approval Number 32148, issued under Education Pathways’ Texas Provider License Number 2297.
The course is online and self-paced. Check the live product page for the current access-duration window before purchasing, since it wasn’t listed alongside the other course details.
Education Pathways’ single 8-hour course packages every hour you need into one purchase, including two segments covering Texas regulatory law and several construction-industry topics.

Yes. Coursework from a non-TDLR-approved provider doesn’t count toward your 8-hour requirement, and the same course can’t be counted twice in one year.
TDLR counts duplicate coursework toward only one renewal period — confirm with TDLR before repeating a course across consecutive years.
Keep your certificate of completion for at least 1 year, since TDLR may request proof of completion.
Your renewal is due by your individual license expiration date. Confirm your specific date through your TDLR licensing account, and start the renewal process 30–60 days ahead of it.
