Holders of limited lines and county mutuals licenses must complete how many CE hours every two years, with how many ethics hours and self-study allowances?

• A. 10 hours with 2 hours of ethics (only 5 hours may be self-study)
• B. 12 hours with 2 hours ethics (no self-study allowed)
• C. 8 hours with 2 hours ethics
• D. 10 hours with 3 hours ethics (all hours may be self-study)

Answer: (A)

In Texas, CE rules vary by license type, and holders of limited lines and county mutual licenses have a lighter, specific requirement. They must complete 10 continuing education hours every two years, with at least 2 of those hours devoted to ethics. Additionally, only up to 5 hours can be completed through self-study; the remaining hours must be earned in an instructor-led format (live instruction). This combination matches the scenario of 10 hours total, 2 ethics hours, and a maximum of 5 self-study hours. The other options don’t fit because they differ in the total hours, the ethics requirement, or the allowed amount of self-study.
