If you are a cosmetologist, manicurist, or esthetician in Texas, you know the drill: every two years, you have to deal with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) renewal.

But let’s be honest—between managing clients and running your business, the last thing you want to worry about is complicated paperwork or confusing course requirements.

At Ace Continuing Education Credits, we have streamlined the process. We don’t just sell a course; we handle the headache so you can get back to work. Here is everything you need to know about renewing your license the right way.

First: Do You Actually Need the 4-Hour Course? (The “15-Year Rule”)

Before you buy, let’s make sure you are getting the right training. The TDLR has a specific rule based on your experience:

• You NEED this 4-Hour Course: If you have held your license for less than 15 years.

• You NEED the 1-Hour Course: If you have held your license for 15+ years.

Note: Even if you are exempt from the full 4 hours, nearly all licensees must still complete the Sanitation and Human Trafficking modules, which are included in our standard package to keep you safe.

Why Texas Stylists are Switching to Ace

We know you have options like Cosmo CE or generic providers. But here is why Ace Continuing Education is becoming the preferred choice for Texas beauty professionals:

1. Zero “Test Anxiety” (No Final Exam):

   There is no pass/fail test. Our course is informational. You simply read the material to complete your credit hours. You cannot fail.

2. Phone-Friendly (Swipe & Go):

   Don’t be chained to a desktop. Our course is fully optimized for mobile. You can knock out a module between appointments or while waiting for color to process.

3. We Report for You (Fast):

   The most stressful part of renewal is wondering if the state got your paperwork. We report your completed hours to the TDLR within 24 hours (often sooner).

Our 4-Hour Continuing Education course is fully TDLR-approved and covers exactly what the state requires for your renewal:

• Sanitation & Sterilization: The critical updates on keeping your workspace safe.
