Steps
Confirm the license type (Landscape Irrigator, Irrigation Technician, or Irrigation Inspector) since TCEQ issues them as separate occupational licenses with different CE-hour requirements (24, 16, and 24 hours respectively).
Verify the license is on TCEQ's three-year validity cycle before it expires.
Accrue 24 total CE credit hours during the validity period for Landscape Irrigator renewal — per TCEQ's own licensing page and renewal CE chart, LI renewal has no mandated hands-on/practical-hours carve-out.
Confirm self-paced or correspondence courses used are not being repeated for credit within the same renewal period, which TCEQ disallows.
Submit the renewal application, criminal history attestation, and renewal fee to TCEQ before the license lapses.
Known gotchas
TCEQ's renewal cycle is three years, not the two-year cycle common to Irrigation Association certifications — don't conflate the two calendars when tracking a technician's combined state license + IA credential.
The 24-hour LI renewal requirement is a straight total with no hands-on/practical sub-requirement; the '8 hours must be hands-on' rule applies to TCEQ's separate Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester (BPAT) license, not to Landscape Irrigator — don't carry that split over by mistake.
TCEQ licenses (LI, irrigation technician, irrigation inspector) are separate occupational credentials from Irrigation Association certifications (CIC/CID/CLIA/CIT) — holding one does not satisfy the other, and Texas requires the state license to legally practice regardless of IA certification status.
