Audit a Master continuing-education record

First step

Create a private renewal worksheet with the license term, course completion date, registered provider reference, and reported credit status. Use this fictional record (exercise values only, not TDLR rules): Master license term being renewed: 2025-11-01 to 2026-10-31. Course K: four hours, NEC-only content, completion date 2026-03-12, delivered by Provider R; Provider R's registration has not been checked; the fictional lookup does not show the hours. Mark the timing, subject-coverage, provider and reported-credit rows satisfied, pending or not satisfied. Then, before checking, retry with one change: rereading the certificate shows a completion date of 2025-09-30. Mark the rows again.

The course date can be compared with the specific license term being renewed. Worked audit: Timing: 2026-03-12 is inside 2025-11-01 to 2026-10-31, so it is satisfied for this exercise. Subject coverage: NEC-only, so it is flagged for the additional subject-coverage check on TDLR's CE page and stays pending until that check is done. Provider: registration not checked, so it is pending in its own row. Reported credit: not shown, so it is pending; draft the C3 note to Provider R and keep it unsent. Changed retry: 2025-09-30 is before 2025-11-01, so timing is not satisfied for this term even though the certificate looks recent. Do not edit the date. Subject coverage, provider and reported credit stay pending as separate rows; none of them changes the timing result, and the timing result closes none of them. The draft note stays unsent and uses 2025-09-30.

A course completed outside the relevant term is accepted just because its certificate is recent.
