Restoring Your Occupational Therapy License in Texas: Everything You Need to Know

Are you an occupational therapist looking to restore your Texas license? Whether your license has been expired for a year or more, understanding the restoration process is crucial. Here's a simple guide to help you navigate through the requirements and get back to doing what you love.

Steps to Restore Your License

Here's a step-by-step guide to restoring your OT or OTA license in Texas:

  1. Download the Correct Form: Ensure you download the Restoration Form, not the Renewal Form.
  2. Submit a Current Photograph: A 2” x 2” passport-type photo is required. This can be submitted either in paper form or electronically.
  3. Verification of Licenses: List all states where you have been licensed. You must submit a verification of any licenses that the Board cannot verify.
  4. Take the JP Exam: This is an open-book, online 20-question exam on the OT Act and Rules.
  5. Fulfill Restoration Requirements: Complete all necessary steps for your type of restoration. For questions, call the Renewal Department at 512/305-6900.
  6. Submit Fingerprints: Follow the guidelines provided for fingerprint submission unless you have previously met this requirement.

Special Notes for Military Applicants
