Emeritus Texas P.G. Recognition Program Update!
The final Rules for TBPG’s Distinguished and Emeritus programs were
published in the Texas Register on April 1, 2026 and are now finalized.
Definitions for each program are available here.
The Emeritus Texas P.G. program provides an opportunity for a P.G.
retiring from licensure to receive recognition for their outstanding career
achievement as a licensee and remain associated with TBPG while also
retaining their license number on a permanent inactive/retired basis. The
minimum qualifications the Board will consider is: must be a current Texas
P.G. in good standing, must have a minimum of 20 years as a licensed
Texas P.G., must have a clean license record with no penalties, and, must
meet a minimum age requirement of 65 years at the time of application.
Application for this recognition will be completed by a licensee using a form
that will soon be available on the TBPG website.
Qualification criteria for both recognition programs established by the
TBPG Board are available at the following link.
We are in the final stages of releasing the application and expect it to be available no later than the end of next week (June 26). Our delay stems from system enhancements handled by a third party but we are confident the form can be released according to this timeline.
