Important Information About Asbestos Licenses

If you are an employer, you may pay for your employee's renewal license fee through TexasOnline. The license will not be renewed until all required documents are received and approved.

To practice with lapsed licenses is prohibited. A person whose license has been expired for one year or more may not renew the license. The person may obtain a new license by complying with the requirements and procedures, including the examination requirements, for obtaining an original license. If a license holder makes a timely and sufficient application for the renewal of a license, the current license in his/her possession does not expire until the application has been finally granted or denied by the program.

If you do not meet these qualification and eligibility requirements, you cannot renew your asbestos license. Contact the asbestos licensing section for instructions on renewing offline or visit program's web page:
