Students must read the course material and answer each set of end-of-lesson quizzes with a score of at least 70 percent prior to taking the monitored final exam.

The final exam is closed book, and no outside information may be used to complete the exam. The online licensing exam is timed and the 150 question exam must be taken in less than 180 minutes.

Exam Requirements: Self-Study exams are closed-book and must be monitored by a disinterested 3rd party. A disinterested 3rd party is an individual who is not related to a student by blood, adoption, or marriage as a parent, child, grandparent, sibling, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle, or first cousin. The monitor also cannot be an employee or subordinate of the student. However, regulations do not prohibit co-workers and managers from serving as a final exam monitor provided that they are not related by blood, adoption, or marriage.

Passing Score: 70%

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 the 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.

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 .
