• Per TDI requirements, when taking an online adjuster prelicense training course with licensing exam, applicants are required to complete all of the lessons and pass all quizzes in the online course sequentially before the online licensing exam can be taken.
• End of lesson quizzes must be passed with a 70% or higher to proceed to the next lesson.

• The Online Licensing Exam for a Texas Adjuster is Monitored: Pre-License training course must be monitored.
  Exam Requirements: WebCE, Inc. online licensing exam is approved by the TDI as an alternative method to sitting for the state exam at a Prometric testing center. The online licensing exam must be monitored by a disinterested third party. Monitors must not serve for examinations of family members, relatives, or dependents; employers or supervisors; employees or subordinates; partners, joint ventures, co-owners, or business associates; or for anyone in whom the monitor or instructor has an economic or other interest in assuring the successful outcome of the examination. (Note: WebCE's online exam and the monitoring process is approved by the Texas Department of Insurance and does not require a notarized proctor affidavit.)


• The Online Licensing Exam is Timed: The 150 question exam must be taken in less than 180 minutes.


• Online Licensing Exam is Closed-Book: During the examination, students may not use course materials, personal notes, or any other written or electronic material or media that is not part of the examination, nor engage in communication of any kind with any other person except to receive instructions from the examination monitor.


• Passing Score: Applicants must pass the online licensing exam with a 70% or higher to receive a certificate of completion. If the final exam is not passed on the first attempt, students have an unlimited number of retakes.

WebCE will email certificates of completion to the student’s email address on file immediately after course completion. Applicants must submit their certificate of completion to the Texas Department of Insurance with their license application and fingerprint receipt. Certificates of completion are valid for one year from the date of issue.

Currently, the Texas Department of Insurance does not require adjuster prelicense course completions to be reported by the provider to the state.

Since Texas has been licensing nonresident individuals and entities. If the nonresident applicant holds a license in good standing in applicant's state of residence and that state will grant a nonresident license to a Texas resident on a reciprocal basis, then the nonresident applicant may apply for comparable license authority in Texas and be exempt from examination, continuing education and criminal history report requirements.
You do not need to get a fingerprint background check if you don’t live in Texas, but you send one of the following with your application:

• Your criminal history record from your state’s law enforcement agency.
• Your current Certificate of Good Standing from your state.

Also, For Non-resident fingerprinting requirement please visit Fingerprint Requirements and Instructions .
Once the state of Texas issues you an Adjuster license, you may then apply for licenses in more than 30 other states that offer a reciprocal license. View more information .
