HB 2827 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the term and renewal of an engineering or land surveying license or registration.

HB 2827 changes Texas engineering and land surveying license renewal terms to require a minimum two-year validity period instead of annual renewal. The bill directly affects licensed engineers, land surveyors, and engineering or land surveying businesses operating in Texas. Key provisions require the Texas Board of Professional Engineers to adopt rules implementing this two-year renewal cycle by September 2025, replacing previous annual renewal requirements. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not alter existing continuing education or fee structures. This is a procedural change to license renewal terms under the Texas Occupations Code.
