The course will satisfy the required continuing education you need to renew your license. All courses must meet the updated industry standards adopted under 16 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 83, Section Cosmetology schools may continue offering hour cosmetology operator courses; however, beginning May 1, , TDLR certificates of approval for cosmetology operator courses will only reflect approval for 1, hours of instruction, as outlined in 16 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 83, Section Once an individual has obtained 1, hours of instruction, they have met the education requirement for an Operator License in accordance with Texas occupations Code Chapter , Section Any additional hours offered by schools above the 1, hours required by statute and rule are not required for someone to obtain a license.
The 1, hours mandated by the Texas Legislature, along with the technical requirements adopted by the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation, provides students with the foundational knowledge, skills, and abilities to successfully operate as licensed cosmetologists.

Contact the Education and Examination division for more information. Our first priority is to provide answers to common questions for students affected by a Cosmetology School closure. Please see the U. TDLR is making an important change to how we license barber and cosmetology schools. Effective immediately, barber and cosmetology schools will be allowed to operate at the same location.
This change will remove impediments for school operators, help streamline our regulations, and make the application review process easier during initial licensing for barbering and cosmetology schools. In response to this change in the law, and to the feedback we received during our Strategic Planning sessions , we evaluated our historic position regarding barber and cosmetology schools operating on the same premises and in the same space.
We have concluded that barber and cosmetology schools can safely operate in the same space; however, schools may not operate in the same space at the same time. Schools who offer both programs must hold both school licenses and meet all requirements for both the barbering and cosmetology programs. We believe this decision will remove burdens for schools but will not impact the health and safety of students or the standards for the barbering and cosmetology programs.
It is our hope that these changes will provide real cost-savings, especially for public schools with a limited amount of funds and for small business owners who will save on rent, utilities, equipment, supplies, payroll, and maintenance. Please direct any questions or comments to the Education and Examination division.
Beginning February 1, , all cosmetology businesses - including mini-salons, specialty salons, mobile salons, and schools - are required by Texas law to display a sign with information about available services and assistance to victims of human trafficking.

The law requires each licensed cosmetology business to display the sign. This includes each mini-salon, specialty salon, mobile salon, and school. TDLR inspectors will have copies of the sign available during their upcoming inspections in case your business does not have the sign displayed.
If an inspector returns for a future inspection and the sign is still not displayed, then a violation may be noted on your inspection report.
