This program leads to a license from the Texas Department of License and Regulation
(TDLR). TDLR now requires applicants to provide documentation of lawful presence in
the United States for both initial license issuance and renewals.
Students who are unable to provide the required lawful presence documentation will
not be eligible to obtain or renew a TDLR-issued license, even if they successfully
complete the program.
