19 Tex. Admin. Code § 232.5 - Renewal Date for Certificates
(a) The
renewal date of a standard certificate shall be five years after the last day
of the certificate holder's next birth month.
(b) If an educator holds multiple
certificates, all certificates will be renewed concurrently and are subject to
renewal after the last day of the certificate holder's birth month in the year
in which the earliest certificate was issued.
(c) Pursuant to the Texas Education Code,
§
21.0031(f),
a certificate or permit is not considered to have expired if the educator has
completed the renewal requirements of this subchapter and has applied for
renewal prior to the expiration date of the certificate or permit. Pursuant to
the Texas Government Code, §
2001.054, if an
educator makes timely and sufficient application for the renewal or extension
of a certificate or permit that is not granted because of the pendency of a
matter subject to notice and hearing pursuant to Chapter 249 of this title
(relating to Disciplinary Proceedings, Sanctions, and Contested Cases), the
existing certificate or permit does not expire until the application for
renewal or extension has been finally determined by the State Board for
Educator Certification (SBEC) and the last day for seeking review of the SBEC
order has passed.
(d) The renewal
of a certificate that is delayed as a result of failure to meet the renewal
requirements of this subchapter will not become effective until all renewal
requirements have been satisfied.
(e) If all renewal requirements have been
satisfied and submitted to the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the effective
renewal date of a certificate or permit will not be affected by any TEA
processing delay.
