How to Renew a Lash License in Texas (Eyelash Extension Specialist)
1. Understand the TDLR Requirements
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) requires licensed Cosmetologists and Eyelash Extension Specialists to complete continuing education (CE) every two years as part of their license renewal process. The CE requirements vary depending on how long you’ve held your license:
- Less than 15 years licensed: You must complete 4 total hours of TDLR‑approved CE
- 1 hour sanitation
- 1 hour human trafficking awareness
- 2 hours cosmetology‑related topics (such as Texas cosmetology law, mental health awareness, safety, salon hazards) TDLR)
- Held license 15+ years:
CE hours are delivered in 50‑minute blocks, and providers must report course completion to TDLR within a week or 24 hours depending on the provider (TDLR,).
2. Choose an Approved CE Provider
Select a provider whose course is TDLR‑approved, includes the required topics, and reports your credits promptly:
- Sanitation
- Human trafficking awareness
- Cosmetology‑related elective topics (for the full 4‑hour requirement) (TDLR)
3. Complete your CE Course
Take the online course at your own pace (audio/visual or reading format). After completion, the provider issues a certificate—often immediately—and reports your credits to TDLR electronically. Many providers guarantee submission within 24 hours (COSMO CE).
4. Apply for License Renewal on TDLR Website
Once your CE credits are posted in your TDLR record, you can renew your license online via the TDLR portal. You will need:
- Your license number (numerical portion)
- Last four digits of your Social Security number (or renew by mail if you don’t have one)
- Renewal fee: ~$50 if on time; ~$75 if late
The renewal grants a two‑year license and confirmation is immediate.
