New CME Tracking Requirement
AN IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING YOUR LICENSE RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS
Due to recent legislation enacted by the Texas Legislature, all health care practitioners in Texas will be required to have their continuing education compliance verified through a CE tracking system prior to license renewal. This requirement is mandated by state law.
To meet this requirement, the Texas Medical Board (TMB) has partnered with CE Broker as the official CE tracking platform. ALL TMB licensees should, at a minimum, establish a free, basic account with CE Broker.
Beginning September 1, 2026, licensees renewing their license must:
- Have an active CE Broker account (basic accounts are free)
- Ensure all completed continuing education is reported in CE Broke
If the Texas Medical Board cannot verify CE compliance through CE Broker, you will not be able to complete your license renewal.
Upcoming Informational Webinar
To support licensees through this transition, TMB—along with CE Broker—will be hosting a series of informational webinars providing a practical, step-by-step tutorial on using CE Broker to track, manage, and report CME, supporting audit readiness and ongoing compliance.

Mandated CME Requirements Are Shifting
A recent reorganization of Texas Medical Board (TMB) rules has removed certain universal CME obligations. The removal of universal CME requirements could result in a lighter load for physicians but may make it more challenging to determine what is required and when.
