Frequently asked questions

Got a question? We've got the answer.

01

Texas CE requirements

How many CE hours do Texas tow operators need?

Four hours every licensing cycle: at least 1 hour of roadway safety, 1 hour of Texas laws and rules governing tow operator conduct, and 2 more hours from TDLR’s approved topics. Our 4-hour course covers all of it.

When do I need to finish my CE?

Before your license expires. If you’re renewing late, your hours must fall within the one year immediately before your renewal date.

Can I take the same course again next renewal?

TDLR doesn’t award hours for taking the same course more than once. That’s why we release a new course every year.

How long should I keep my certificate?

Keep a copy for two years after you complete the course — TDLR may ask for it during an inspection or investigation. You can reprint it from your account anytime.

How can I check that my hours were reported?

Use TDLR’s Continuing Education Course Look Up. If your course isn’t showing 7 days after you finish, text or email us first and we’ll get it fixed.

I’m an incident management tow operator renewing for the first time. Does this course count?

Not for that requirement. First-time incident management renewals need an 8-hour professional development course taken in person through a TDLR-approved provider.

02

Registration & payment

How do I register for a course without a username or password?

You don’t need one to start. Choose the course, add it to your cart and apply your promo code, then create your profile with your registration and billing details. Your email address becomes your username.

Can I register and pay for an employee?

Each registration stays under the name of the person who signs up. To register employees or a group, text or email us and we’ll get them set up.

How do I register multiple students at one time?

Text or email our sales team and we’ll handle group registration for you.

How can I pay for the course?

We accept credit cards. Companies registering multiple students can set up a billing account and receive a monthly invoice — contact sales to get started.

03

Reporting & certificates

How do my credits get reported to the state?

We report them for you. TDLR gives providers 7 days to report a completed course. We aim to report sooner, and for $5 we guarantee reporting within 24 hours of completion.

Why should I pay for Guaranteed 24-Hour Reporting?

If your renewal deadline is close, it removes the wait. Instead of the standard 7-day window, your hours are reported within 24 hours of completing the course.

When I complete the course, should I print my certificate?

Yes. We recommend printing your certificate and keeping it somewhere secure.

Why should I pay for a Professionally Printed Certificate?

It’s a display-ready certificate you can hang at your workstation to show customers you’re current. Printed certificates are typically mailed within 7 days.

I lost my certificate. How do I get another one?

Log in and print another copy anytime. Having trouble? Text or email support and we’ll help.

How do I go back and reprint my certificate?

Log in with your username and password, then click the certificate icon next to the course title.

04

Account & support

I forgot my username and password. What do I do?

Use the “Forgot password” link on the student login page and enter your email address to get a reset email. If you’ve also forgotten your username, contact support.

Who can I contact with towing course questions?

What materials come with the towing course?

Everything is online, so there are no printed materials to wait for.

Will someone actually pick up the phone?

Yes. Our support team is based in Austin, Texas. Texting is the fastest way to reach us, but you can also leave your name, number and reason for calling, and we’ll respond within 24 hours.
