How to Renew Your Texas Auctioneer License (2026)

Licensed Texas Auctioneers and Associate Auctioneers must complete 6 hours of TDLR-approved continuing education each year to renew their license, including at least 2 hours on Texas law and rules (16 TAC §67.25). Confirm current requirements with TDLR.

Texas auctioneer and associate auctioneer licenses are renewed annually through TDLR (16 TAC §67.24). For a timely renewal, complete all 6 hours before your license expires. If you renew late, the hours must fall in the one-year period immediately before the date you renew (16 TAC §67.25(c)); older hours do not count, and TDLR charges a late-renewal fee under Occupations Code §51.401.

The remaining 4 hours cover approved subjects such as auction-related law (including the Uniform Commercial Code and the Deceptive Trade Practices Act) and business practices. This course includes UCC sale-by-auction law and consumer protection, trust accounts and business practices, and auction ethics.
