Courses that count toward your Texas hours

Topics Texas specifically requires

These hours can't be satisfied with any course — they have to cover the named subject, and we don't stock them yet.

Ethics or jurisprudence2 hrs required

No course in our catalog covers this yet. Know one? Add it — it's the hardest requirement for PTs to find.

Everything else in the catalog

Most states accept any course relevant to physical therapy practice from a recognized provider, without approving each course in advance. We haven't independently confirmed approval for these specific courses in Texas — check the provider's approval statement, or the board, before you count on one.
