Texas TBCE Requirements — What You Need to Know

Two sections cover the full Texas TBCE picture: the required-topic hour breakdown under 22 TAC §73.1, and the audit-ready posture CCEDseminars maintains for every Texas licensee. Open each card below.

Required Topic Hours — What Texas Specifies

Inside the 16-hour annual total, Texas Administrative Code §73.1 specifies a fixed Board-required allotment that must be completed in live format each year. A separate one-time Medicare requirement and a separate Texas-wide Human Trafficking requirement also apply.

Board-Required — 4 hours Live format only

3 hours covering the Board's rules, code of ethics, and documenting + 1 hour Risk Management. Must be completed in live format (live webinar, in-person, or teleconference per §73.1).

Live Webinar

Medicare — 8 hours One-time

Coding & documentation for Medicare claims. Required for licensees first licensed on or after Sept 1, 2012, completed no later than the second renewal period. May count toward the 16-hour annual total in the year completed (not currently offered).

Human Trafficking — 1 hour Separate

Texas-legislated requirement for all healthcare-licensed professionals. Sits outside the 16-hour TBCE CE total. Must be from a course approved by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC).

Approved online courses

Clinical Electives — remaining hours

After Board-required hours, fill the rest with any TBCE-approved clinical or professional content. TBCE requires 2 additional live-webinar hours and up to 10 hours per year may be online.

Staying Audit-Ready in Texas

CCEDseminars reports completed Texas CE hours directly to the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners (TBCE) within 30 days of course completion. You also receive an instant certificate at the moment you finish, and a permanent copy stays in your CCEDseminars account dashboard. Your TBCE-approved courses are submitted to the board by the CCEDseminars.

Audit posture still matters beyond reporting. Keep a personal copy of every certificate, hold completion records for the full retention window the TBCE specifies, and align your documentation workflow with the chart standards the Audit-Ready Workflows course covers. The goal is a renewal cycle that needs zero scrambling at deadline and zero anxiety if the board requests records.

A separate Human Trafficking course (1 hour), mandated by Texas law for all healthcare licensees, sits outside the 16-hour CE total.

The best fit depends on how a Texas chiropractor balances live and online hours, CCEDseminars is PACE Provider #34015544, delivers both live TBCE-aligned webinars and on-demand courses, reports directly to TBCE within 30 days, and issues instant certificates. Other Texas chiropractic CE providers focus more narrowly on a single format or a single topic area, which can fragment a renewal cycle across multiple vendors.
