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.
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.
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).
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).
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).
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.
Bundling discounts apply automatically at checkout when you combine multiple Texas TBCE-approved courses in a single order.
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.
Four high-impact questions Texas chiropractors ask most about TBCE renewal. Open each to expand.
Texas chiropractors must complete 16 hours of TBCE-approved continuing education each year, with the reporting year beginning the first day of the licensee's birth month. At least 4 of those hours must be Board-required courses completed in live format, plus 2 additional live/webinar hours and up to 10 hours per year may be completed through online self-study.
The TBCE accepts live, interactive webinars (with real-time instructor interaction), in-person seminars, and recorded online self-study courses from board-approved providers. Per 22 TAC §73.1, "live format" means any education course that is not pre-recorded and is presented in real time through an interactive medium such as a live webinar, an in-person training event, or telephone conference. CCEDseminars delivers both live webinars and on-demand online courses, all TBCE-approved and reported directly to the board within 30 days of completion.
Inside the 16-hour annual total, 22 TAC §73.1 requires a minimum of 4 hours of Board-required courses in live format: 3 hours covering the Board's rules, code of ethics, and documenting, plus 1 hour of Risk Management. Licensees first licensed on or after September 1, 2012, must also complete 8 hours of coding and documentation for Medicare claims by their second renewal period (this 8-hour block may count toward the 16 in the year completed). 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.
