Fall 2026 Texas Board Meeting Recap: What LPCs, LMFTs, Psychologists, and Social Workers Need to Know
Missed your board meeting? No worries — we've got you covered.
Between September 11 and October 2, 2026, all four boards under the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC) met. If you're a licensed mental health professional in Texas and couldn't tune in, here are the key updates affecting you, your license, and, if you supervise, your supervisees. Along the way, look for WisePractice Insights, where we translate rule changes and board discussions into what they mean for your day-to-day practice.
This recap covers the following board meetings:
LPC Board — October 2, 2026
LMFT Board — September 25, 2026
Psychology Board — September 17, 2026
Social Work Board — September 11, 2026
Start with the cross-board highlights below, then jump to your board.
The Big Picture: Themes Across All Four Boards
Key Takeaways for Supervisors
LPC supervisors: The 4-hour monthly minimum stays. Expect to attest to it. Associates must notify you of complaints within 7 days. Don't charge associates for licensure supervision you're already paid to provide. Use paper forms to add/remove associates for now, and watch for an updated SED form.
LMFT supervisors: Put supervisees' right to change supervisors in your contract. The virtual hours cap remains.
Psychology supervisors: Help trainees understand that foundational coursework is non-negotiable, and that applications expire after 180 days.
Everyone: Review your intake paperwork in light of the proposed BHEC complaint-process notice requirement, review your AI tools and EHR practices against SB 1188, and model regulatory literacy for the clinicians you supervise.
Complaints are up — sharply. Across the agency, complaints have climbed from a historical norm of roughly 400–500 per year to nearly 1,000 this year. BHEC staff reported that the increase far outpaces licensee growth and isn't tied to any single complaint type, rule change, or process change. Staff are resolving more cases than ever, but described themselves as "treading water." BHEC is asking the Legislature for eight new positions — four attorneys and four clinical review specialists (licensed professionals on staff who would review complaints). The earliest that funding could arrive is September 1, 2027.
Every board member can now serve on Informal Settlement Conference (ISC) panels. To resolve complaints faster, all four boards have made all of their board members available for ISC panels, the meetings where a licensee can resolve a complaint before it goes to a formal hearing. Previously these panels were drawn mainly from each board's ethics or complaints committee. As a result, the LPC and LMFT boards are trying a new role for those committees: looking at complaint data for trends and checking that penalties are applied consistently.
Rulemaking is moving to a once-a-year cadence. Boards will generally propose rules once annually (with exceptions for urgent issues). If you have rule ideas or concerns, now is the time to share them with your board or professional association.
The next BHEC Council meeting is October 27, 2026. Several rules discussed below — including the LPC Associate and supervisor rules and the LMFT technology rules — go to the Council for final adoption on that date. Want to attend this meeting live? Learn more here.
CE Broker frustrations continue. Board members themselves voiced frustration with the platform. CE Broker has rolled out a redesigned licensee dashboard, and video guides are expected. Staff reported a modest, stable bump in delinquent renewals (roughly 50–100 per month agency-wide, out of about 3,500–4,000 renewals monthly) tied to CE reporting.
AI is on everyone's radar. From BHEC's internal AI ethics framework to the LMFT Board's new ad hoc AI committee, artificial intelligence came up at nearly every meeting. More on this under the LMFT and Psychology sections below.
Practical housekeeping for everyone:
Keep your email address current — license certificates are now delivered electronically, and deficiency notices come by email (check spam/junk folders!).
Print your certificate through your online licensing account: Manage My License → Print License Certificate.
Calligraphy (framed-style) license certificates are now available for all license types through your online account. Allow up to about six weeks.
BHEC's redesigned website includes "SAM," an AI regulatory assistant from the Texas Regulatory Efficiency Office.
Always download the most current forms from the website rather than reusing saved copies.
LPC Board Meeting
Held October 2, 2026, this was a substantive meeting for LPC Associates and supervisors. The Board recommended adoption of three supervision-related rules (reviewed below), and in the process reversed course on one of the most-discussed proposals of the year, keeping the 4-hour monthly supervision minimum rather than switching to an average. The rules now go to the BHEC Council for final adoption on October 27, 2026, and are expected to be published in the Texas Register in early November.
Rule 681.91 (LPC Associate License): Associates Must Notify Supervisors of Complaints Within 7 Days
The proposed rule required LPC Associates to notify their supervisor(s) within 15 business days of receiving notice of a pending complaint. After public comment from TACES and the Texas Counseling Association, the Board shortened this to 7 days.
The Board intentionally used "days" rather than "calendar days" or "business days" to stay consistent with the rest of the rule chapter. Under the Code Construction Act, "days" functions as calendar days — so plan on seven calendar days, weekends included.
The rule also requires associates under a remediation plan to continue providing that plan to their other supervisors.
Why it matters: Board members emphasized that supervisors share responsibility for an associate's practice. A complaint may involve a current client, and a supervisor needs time to intervene, consult, and support the associate.
Rule 681.92 (Experience Requirements): The 4-Hour Monthly Supervision Minimum Stays
This was the big one. In May, the Board proposed changing the supervision requirement from a minimum of 4 hours per month to an average of 4 hours per month. Public comment raised concerns that averaging could allow supervision to be "front-loaded" or "back-loaded," leaving associates without meaningful oversight for long stretches.
The Board considered several alternatives — including an average of 4 hours with a 2-hour monthly floor (the TACES/TCA suggestion), a monthly cap like the Social Work Board's, a weekly requirement like the LMFT Board's, and a ratio model. Ultimately, by a 6–2 vote, the Board decided to keep the current rule: a minimum of 4 hours of supervision per month. The other cleanup and grammatical changes in the rule moved forward.
Board members who supported keeping the minimum pointed to public protection, especially for brand-new clinicians in their earliest months of practice. Those favoring the average pointed to flexibility for illness, holidays, and scheduling, as well as reduced staff burden.
What this means in practice: Staff indicated that supervisors will attest on the Supervised Experience Documentation form that the 4-hour monthly minimum was met. The Board did not support returning to month-by-month logs submitted to staff. Remember, current rules require require supervisors to keep notes and track supervision dates and times.
WisePractice Insight: It's tempting to think of the 4-hour minimum as simple math: if supervision hours fall short one month, those experience hours won't count. But supervision isn't just a licensure requirement; it's the condition under which an associate is permitted to practice at all. As staff noted during the discussion, if an associate isn't meeting with their supervisor, "how are they supervising you?" Inadequate supervision can raise practice and compliance concerns for both the associate and the supervisor, beyond lost hours. Treat the monthly minimum as a floor for safe practice, not a box to check, and build in a backup supervisor so a missed meeting doesn't become a gap in oversight.
Rule 681.93 (Supervisor Requirements): Clarified Compensation Language
This rule addresses custody of supervision records when a supervisor dies or becomes incapacitated — a welcome protection for associates. It also included language about supervisor compensation that drew public comment for being unclear.
The Board adopted clarified wording: a supervisor may not charge an LPC Associate for licensure supervision services if that supervision is part of the supervisor's responsibilities as a paid employee of an agency, institution, clinic, or other business entity.
In plain terms:
If you're already paid by your employer to provide licensure supervision, you can't also charge the associate for it.
Employers can still pay supervisors stipends or salary for supervising.
A site supervisor who isn't employed to provide licensure supervision can separately contract with an associate for licensure supervision.
If supervision beyond what your job requires is provided outside your employed role (for example, extra hours an associate requests), that may be charged.
WisePractice Insight: During the discussion, BHEC staff clarified that this rule applies only to licensure supervision — the Board does not regulate employment or site supervision. Whether a supervisor can charge an associate comes down to what the supervisor's job already includes: as staff explained, "it would just depend on what their contract with the agency already says." That makes clear written agreements essential. Supervisors and associates should know whether licensure supervision is part of the supervisor's paid role, how many hours that covers, and what (if anything) falls outside it. If your employment agreement is silent or vague, now is a good time to put it in writing.
Other LPC Updates
Supervisors, please note:
The online function to add or remove associates is currently down due to a database vendor issue. Use the paper form and email it in until further notice.
The Supervised Experience Documentation (SED) form will likely be updated in the coming weeks. Don't rely on a saved desktop copy — download the current version.
SED forms are due within 30 days of ending supervision — whether you're the first supervisor or the fifth.
Double-check months and hours before signing. These are legal documents.
Staff recommend signing off on hours regularly throughout supervision, and associates are welcome to keep their own copies of supervision records.
Associates, please note: Submitting your SED forms is not enough. You must also complete the online upgrade application (no fee) — that's what triggers staff to process your upgrade. Missing applications are currently one of the biggest causes of upgrade delays.
Application processing: As of October 2, staff were working applications from September 17 — roughly two weeks out. Complete applications move fastest.
Spanish-language national exam approved. The Board voted unanimously to accept the Spanish-language NCMHCE (the Spanish NCE was approved previously). Board members clarified that this does not change competency rules: a counselor must still be able to communicate effectively with the clients they serve.
Counseling Compact: Texas is not a member. Joining requires state legislation, not board action. The 2027 legislative session begins in January. Forty states have enacted compact legislation, and approximately 3,000 privileges to practice have been issued. For updates, visit counselingcompact.gov.
Complaint trends: Pending LPC complaints peaked at over 1,000 in April and have since dropped by nearly 200. The top four complaint categories remain consistent: sexual misconduct (by far the most common), general standard of practice, nonsexual dual relationships, and unlicensed practice (which staff believed rounds out the top four). Staff noted they are seeing some AI-generated complaints and responses, but not enough to explain the overall increase.
CE petition: A licensee petitioned to add doctoral-level licensees in counseling or a related field to the list of providers that count toward the "50% rule" in 681.140(e) (which currently includes supervisors). Due to timing requirements, staff had already issued a denial, but the Board referred the idea to the Rules Committee for future consideration.
Enforcement: The Board recommended revocation in three default cases. Violations included billing for services not rendered, falsified documentation, misrepresenting practice location, client abandonment without facilitating transfer of care, failure to report child abuse, practicing while impaired, failure to cooperate with an investigation, and a Medicaid fraud conviction (which requires revocation).
LPC Leadership Changes
Dr. Lia Amuna was unanimously elected Vice Chair, succeeding Dr. Christopher Taylor, whose second term ends January 31, 2027.
The Board informally agreed that Dr. Janie Stubblefield will be nominated as the LPC Board's BHEC Council delegate when Dr. Taylor's seat opens (to be taken up in January).
The Board honored Board Administrator Cristina De Luna for 10 years of service, during which Texas LPCs grew from roughly 22,000 to 42,000 and application processing went from months to, in some cases, overnight.
Upcoming Events
TCA Professional Growth Conference: November 11–13, 2026, Round Rock
TACES Midwinter Conference: March 4–5, 2027, Georgetown
LMFT Board Meeting
Held September 25, 2026, this was a substantive meeting for LMFTs. The Board recommended adoption of seven rules, including updates to definitions, technology-assisted services, and supervised clinical experience. The rules now go to the BHEC Council for final adoption on October 27, 2026. Once adopted, they are expected to be published in the Texas Register in early November.
Rules Recommended for Adoption
The Board recommended adoption of seven rules:
Technology terminology updates: §801.2 Definitions, §801.44 Relationships with Clients, §801.58 Technology-Assisted Services, and §801.142 Supervised Clinical Experience Requirements and Conditions. These four rules update how the LMFT rules talk about technology. The definitions now include two distinct terms: virtual practice (essentially telehealth) and a broader umbrella term, technology-supported services: electronic, digital, or internet-based tools and platforms used to provide, augment, or support services, including AI, video or audio conferencing, virtual or augmented reality, mobile apps, wearables, and analytics. The other three rules were updated to align with the new terminology.
§801.58 Technology-Assisted Services was the one rule the Board amended. As proposed, its informed consent requirements would have applied to the broad technology-supported services category, meaning, as one public commenter pointed out, you might need client consent before using QuickBooks to send an invoice. Rather than overreach, the Board changed the rule to say "virtual practice" throughout. In practice, §801.58 continues doing what it has always done: governing telehealth. The broader umbrella definition stays in place, but rules for AI and other technology tools will come later, through the Board's new ad hoc AI committee.
§801.47 Drug and Alcohol Use. This rule now makes explicit that supervisors may not provide illegal drugs to supervisees. As staff put it, this states "somewhat the obvious."
§801.53 Advertising and Announcements and §801.54 Research and Publications. Staff summarized these as clarifications reinforcing that licensees must follow applicable laws and rules. On §801.53, a public commenter asked the Board to address art therapy credentials. The Board felt no change was needed: the rule bars holding yourself out with credentials unrelated to therapy, and an art therapy credential is clearly therapy-related.

A Closer Look at SB 1188
During the LMFT Board meeting, BHEC Deputy Executive Director Robert Romig gave a brief recap of Senate Bill 1188, focusing on provisions related to electronic health records and AI.
Here are the key points clinicians need to know, based on the meeting discussion and the bill itself:
AI disclosure: SB 1188 includes disclosure requirements when AI is used for diagnostic purposes.
Human review: When AI is used in that diagnostic context, clinicians remain responsible for reviewing AI-generated records and recommendations.
U.S.-based data storage: Electronic health records containing patient information must be physically maintained in the United States or a U.S. territory.
Know your vendor: The discussion also emphasized how difficult it can be to verify where an EHR or AI vendor stores data, making vendor contracts and privacy terms especially important to review.
WisePractice note: Board meetings are helpful because they let us hear how staff and board members are thinking about a rule or law in real time. They’re also human conversations, not carefully scripted readings of statute. SB 1188 covers more than the provisions highlighted here, so we recommend using the meeting discussion for context and returning to the written law for the most complete and accurate understanding of its requirements. If you’re not familiar with SB 1188, you can read the full bill here.
New Ad Hoc AI Committee
The Board agreed that AI is too big to address piecemeal and formed an ad hoc AI committee to consider how technology-supported services — including AI documentation tools — should be regulated going forward. Nearly every board member volunteered.
Committee Restructure Approved
The Board reduced its standing committees to the following three, with written committee descriptions to follow:
Oversight Committee (combines Ethics and Licensing Standards)
Rules Committee (unchanged)
Stakeholder Engagement Committee (combines Outreach and Professional Development)
Supervision Takeaways
Supervisees can change supervisors. The Ethics Committee recommended that supervisors state clearly at the start — ideally in the supervision contract — that the supervisee has the right to end the relationship and find another supervisor at any time.
Virtual hours cap stays (for now). The Rules Committee decided to keep the current limit of no more than half of clinical hours coming from virtual practice. Hours are now tracked on reporting forms so the Board can revisit this with data.
Asynchronous supervisor training: The Rules Committee discussed it and decided no changes are needed at this time.
Complaint Notices Have a New Name
What used to be called a Notice of Violation (NOV) is now a Preliminary Investigative Notice (PIN). Board members noted the name better reflects that an investigation is underway — not that a violation has been found.
Jurisprudence Exam Discussion
A board member raised the question of whether all LMFTs (not just supervisors) should take the jurisprudence exam at renewal. Requirements currently vary across BHEC boards. Staff shared that BHEC is considering module-based jurisprudence exams that build in education. No action was taken — board members first want to define what problem a renewal requirement would solve and whether it would function as education or as a barrier.
Other LMFT Updates
Leadership: Dr. Elder was elected the LMFT Board's BHEC Council delegate and continues as Vice Chair.
New board member: Misty Nielsen joined the Board (term ends February 2029).
Study plans: The Board reviewed and approved five study plans. These are required from applicants who have failed the licensing exam three times. A BHEC rule change (§882.6) eliminating the study plan requirement goes to the Council for adoption on October 27 (also discussed below). Until it takes effect, study plans will still be reviewed.
Remedial CE works: Dr. Elder shared research finding that physicians required to complete remedial CE after a first disciplinary action were less likely to be disciplined again — supporting the boards' use of education-focused sanctions.
Public comment: Two commenters from a CE organization raised concerns about rule terminology, licensee understanding of HIPAA compliance, the rigor of the jurisprudence exam, and graduate training content.
Upcoming Events
Dr. Bartee's 1-hour Zoom workshop on legislation and common rule violations: October 16, 2026
TAMFT Conference: February 17–19, 2027, Austin (call for proposals is open)
Next LMFT Board meeting: January 22, 2027
Psychology Board Meeting
Held September 17, 2026, this meeting focused on licensing and the road ahead. The Board received an update on the Texas-owned psychology licensure exam, which now has five vendor proposals under review ahead of the 2027 legislative session. Members also heard about BHEC-level rules affecting all licensees, including removal of the study plan requirement after failed exam attempts and a requirement to notify clients of the complaint process. Those rules go to the BHEC Council for final adoption on October 27, 2026. The Board also took up an LPA licensing appeal that offers a clear signal about how strictly educational requirements will be applied.
Texas-Owned Psychology Licensure Exam: Vendor Selection Underway
BHEC received five vendor proposals to develop and administer a Texas-owned psychology licensure exam. The top three are being invited to present, and a vendor is expected to be selected before the October Council meeting under state best-value procurement rules. However, no contract will be finalized until the Legislature decides whether to fund the project during the 2027 session. Staff described all work to date as "getting to the starting line."
BHEC Rules Up for Adoption on October 27
These Council-level rules apply across all four professions:
§882.6 — Exam attempt limits: The Council is removing the requirement for a board-approved study plan after a third failed exam attempt. Staff found no regulatory benefit from the study plan process. (Until the change takes effect, study plans will continue to be reviewed.)
§882.36 — Compliance with state and federal law: Reinforces that licensees must follow all laws affecting their practice — including mental health records, abuse reporting, telehealth, and healthcare fraud laws.
§884.31 — Notice to the public of the complaint process: Licensees are already required to give clients notice of how to file a complaint with BHEC (for example, in intake paperwork, a sign in your office, your website, or billing statements). The proposed amendment updates the required notice language itself, adding BHEC's full contact information, a reference to the Attorney General's consumer protection complaint process, and a note that clients may request copies of their records. If the amendment is adopted on October 27, plan to update your notice wherever it appears. You can view the proposed notice here.
BHEC and AI Guardrails
BHEC is evaluating an internal AI code of ethics, a formal complaint process related to AI systems, and minimum standards for "heightened scrutiny" AI systems — defined under Texas law as systems that make, or are a controlling factor in making, consequential decisions without meaningful human review. The goal is to ensure that if BHEC uses AI in administrative or regulatory processes, guardrails prevent unreviewed autonomous decisions.
Chiles v. Salazar Noted
A board member noted, as an informational item, the U.S. Supreme Court's March 31, 2026 decision in Chiles v. Salazar. In an 8–1 ruling, the Court held that a Colorado law restricting what licensed counselors could say in talk therapy with minors about sexual orientation and gender identity violated the First Amendment as applied to a counselor's speech. The board did not discuss specific implications for Texas rules; this is an area to watch.
Licensing Appeal: Foundational Coursework Matters
The Board reviewed an LPA application from an internationally trained applicant with significant clinical residency and research experience, but whose evaluated education totaled roughly half of the required 60 semester credit hours and was missing eight core content areas. Although board members acknowledged the applicant's experience, they voted to deny the application, citing concerns about precedent and the importance of foundational coursework. The applicant may reapply once requirements are met.
Takeaway for applicants and supervisors of future applicants: Even though the LPA is a rule-based (not statutory) license, the Board signaled it will hold LPA educational requirements to the same rigor as the psychologist license. Clinical or research experience generally won't substitute for foundational coursework.
Other Psychology Updates
Applications expire after 180 days. After that, you'll need to start over and pay again. Watch your email (and spam folder) for deficiency notices.
Processing times: As of September 14, staff were working LPA and LSP applications from August 24 and LP applications from August 29.
PSYPACT growth: As of July 2026, Texas had 91 Temporary Authorization to Practice (TAP) holders (up nearly 57% since April) and 1,169 APIT holders (up nearly 17% since July 2025). Alaska, Louisiana, and Iowa (effective January 1, 2028) have enacted PSYPACT legislation.
New jurisprudence exam: All seven modules have been created (about 12 questions each) and are in final review.
Applications Committee: Reviewed seven applications — three study plans, two supervised experience cases requiring additional experience, and two structured training experiences at alternate settings that were approved.
Enforcement: The Board recommended revocation of a psychologist's license for failing to notify BHEC that his clinical privileges had been permanently suspended and failing to cooperate with the investigation. Reminder: you have a duty to report certain actions against you to BHEC.
Coming Up
Next Psychology Board meeting: January 14, 2027. Rules will be discussed in January and proposed in May. Practical tip from the Board: If attending in person in January, book your hotel early — the legislative session will be underway.
Social Work Board Meeting
Held September 11, 2026, this meeting was the first led by new Board Chair Jason Bernal. It was a shorter meeting: no rules were under review, and the committees hadn't met since the last board meeting. But the licensing and enforcement decisions carry important reminders for every licensee. A court ruling upholding Chapter 108 directly shaped several of those decisions.
Chapter 108 Upheld in Court
The lawsuit challenging enforcement of Chapter 108, which bars licensure for, and requires revocation upon, certain criminal convictions, has been decided in the state's favor at both the district court and court of appeals levels. A Texas Supreme Court appeal remains possible, but Chapter 108 remains enforceable.
This had real consequences at this meeting:
The Board was required to deny a license appeal from an applicant whose conviction occurred 26 years ago, despite her extensive recovery, education, and service. Staff stated plainly that the Board had no discretion under the statute.
The Board was required to recommend revocation of a license following a conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Disciplinary Actions and Enforcement
Request to shorten a 10-year resignation period: denied. A former licensee who agreed to resign her license (after reciprocal discipline for a romantic boundary violation in another state) asked the Board to shorten her 10-year waiting period to reapply. The Board recommended denial, noting the request included no documentation of rehabilitation, continuing education, therapy, or other mitigating factors.
Note: Ten years is BHEC's default standard for license resignation in disciplinary matters. The Board can't change an agreed order on its own. It can only make a recommendation, and the BHEC Council has final authority. Staff said no one could recall the Council ever renegotiating an agreed disciplinary order, so it would take a compelling showing.
Revocations. The Board recommended revocation in four cases, including felony indictments, the mandatory Chapter 108 revocation noted above, and a felony conviction that the licensee failed to report to BHEC.
Reminder: Licensees must report qualifying convictions to BHEC.
Spanish-Language LMSW Exam Update
The Legislature had appropriated $200,000 for a Spanish-language LMSW exam. Because that amount wasn't enough to build an exam from scratch, and ASWB owns the exam, BHEC returned the funding. ASWB is now exploring a Spanish-language exam in partnership with NASW Texas, which has circulated a survey to gauge interest. The project is ongoing, just no longer BHEC-funded.
Other Social Work Updates
New BHEC delegate: David Marsden was elected the Social Work Board's professional member delegate to the BHEC Council. Because the term expires February 1, 2027, the Board will vote again in January.
No Council update this time: The BHEC Council hadn't met since the Board's last meeting, so there was no delegate report. The next Council meeting is October 27, 2026.
ASWB exams: ASWB implemented its most recent exam version in August, with no reported issues.
Rulemaking: No rules were proposed. Under BHEC's new annual rulemaking cadence, the Board aims to propose rules at its April 2027 meeting, so now is a good time to share ideas and concerns with staff.
Ethics committee's role may shift: The LPC and LMFT boards are trying out a data-driven oversight role for their ethics committees, looking at complaint trends and penalty consistency. If it works well, staff may bring the idea to the Social Work Board.
Public comment tip: Several commenters had audio problems on Zoom. You can always submit comments through BHEC's Contact Us page (include "Attention Sarah" in the subject line for the Social Work Board).
Coming Up
NASW Texas Conference, Galveston, November 2026: Board Administrator Sarah Faszholz will present and host an exhibit table on behalf of the Board.
January 8, 2027 meeting: Votes on the BHEC Council delegate and vice chair.
Looking Ahead — Important Dates
October 27, 2026: BHEC Council meeting — final adoption of the LPC supervision rules, LMFT technology rules, and BHEC rules on exam attempts and complaint notices.
January 2027: The 90th Texas Legislative Session begins. Watch for BHEC's staffing request, the psychology exam funding decision, and any Counseling Compact legislation.
