A Texas-licensed producer is required to complete 24 hours of continuing education (CE) every two-year license period. How many of these hours must be dedicated to ethics/consumer protection?
- A3 hours
- B1 hour
- C4 hours
- D2 hours
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. 2 hours
Texas law requires licensed insurance producers to complete a minimum of 2 hours of continuing education dedicated specifically to ethics and consumer protection as part of their total 24-hour CE requirement every two-year license period.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. 3 hours is often a common minimum for ethics in other states or professions, but not Texas insurance.
- B. 1 hour is insufficient; 2 hours is the minimum.
- C. 4 hours is double the minimum requirement, which is permissible but not mandatory.
Texas CE Ethics Requirement
The minimum number of continuing education hours Texas-licensed insurance producers must complete in ethics/consumer protection during each 2-year license period.
- Part of the total 24-hour CE requirement.
- Ensures producers maintain ethical standards and protect consumers.
- Failure to meet requirements can lead to license suspension.
Memory trick: CE hours keep knowledge fresh, ethics keep practice best.
