How can I get my Texas license if I'm licensed in another State?
Texas does not offer reciprocity with any other state. For that reason, you will still be required to complete the 180-hour pre-license course, submit a Texas license application, get fingerprinted, and pass the state exam.
However, if your license is still active, you will not be required to take the national portion of the state exam. Instead, you will only be required to take the state law portion.
