TDLR rules to know

Don't get caught short at renewal

Source: TDLR Towing CE ↗

Finish before you expire

Complete your CE before your license expires. For a late renewal, hours must fall within the year immediately before your renewal date.

No credit for repeats

TDLR won't award hours for taking the same course twice — which is why we publish a new course every year.

Keep your certificate 2 years

TDLR may ask for your records during an inspection or investigation. You can reprint yours from your account anytime.

Reported within 7 days

Providers must report completions to TDLR within 7 days. Not showing after that? Contact us first and we'll sort it out.

Online courses count

TDLR-approved online courses like ours satisfy the full 4-hour tow operator requirement.

Incident management, first renewal?

Incident management tow operators renewing for the first time need an 8-hour professional development course taken in person — this online course doesn't cover that requirement.

Good to know

A new course every year

TDLR doesn't credit repeat courses, so there's a fresh one each renewal.

Fully narrated

Listen along — no need to read every screen.

Loyalty discounts

Returning customers save on future renewals.

100% online

No printed materials or special software needed.
