In the past, I have attended Surveying Board Meetings and received 4 hours of Continuing Education Credit. How will TBPELS handle this going forward?

Continuing Education requirements for registered professional land surveyors are found in 1071.305 of the Texas Occupations Code and the Board's Rules, located at 22 Tex. Admin. Code Chapter 664. Although attending a Board meeting is not specifically included in the types of acceptable continuing education, Rule 664.4(9) allows for a maximum of four (4) hours of self-directed study in a topic related to the practice of surveying as acceptable continuing education. Please note that Board rules do not require in-person attendance at Board meetings. Attending a Board meeting - either in-person or by watching the broadcast - could qualify as self-study hours; however, the number of hours you are eligible to receive are based on actual attendance and counted on an hour-for-hour basis. This means that if you attend or watch a Board meeting for two (2) hours, you can count the two (2) hours as self-directed study towards your Continuing Education requirement. If you attend or watch the Board meeting online, please complete the Self-Study Form and maintain this Form as part of your records in accordance with Board Rule 664.6 in the event you are selected for a Continuing Education audit.
