How long does a nurse have to renew their nursing license before it expires in Texas?

A nurse in Texas has the opportunity to renew their nursing license up to 60 days before it expires. This timeframe allows nurses the flexibility to complete the renewal process without risking a lapse in their licensure.

Renewing within this period ensures that nurses can continue practicing without interruption and helps maintain compliance with state regulations. It is vital for nurses to adhere to this timeline to avoid any penalties, including the potential for a fine or the need to complete additional requirements for late renewal. This proactive measure supports the overall goal of keeping the nursing workforce up-to-date and in good standing with the Texas Board of Nursing.
