How many continuing education hours must an agent complete in the next renewal period after completing 35 hours in the current period?

In Texas, insurance agents are required to complete a specified number of continuing education (CE) hours to maintain their licenses. After an agent has completed the required hours during their current renewal period, they must complete a certain number of CE hours in the subsequent renewal period.

For agents, the typical requirement is to complete 24 hours of CE every two years. This requirement ensures that agents remain up-to-date with the latest industry practices, regulations, and overall knowledge necessary to provide quality service. Therefore, after completing the 35 hours in the current period, the correct number of continuing education hours required in the next renewal period is indeed 24 hours.

This aligns with the standards set by the Texas Department of Insurance, which emphasizes the importance of ongoing professional development and compliance with regulatory requirements in the insurance field.
