Want to get Texas PE
(OP)
Hi,
I hold a PE in Ohio. I just got a job in Texas public sector and Texas Board of Professional Engineers website wasn't very clear on reciprocity.
If you went through similar experience, please share. Btw, I've already completed the Ethics Exam on tbpe website.
Thank you.

I hold an NCEE certificate, which is supposed to make the reciprocity process a lot smoother.
I have held a Texas license by reciprocity for about 8 years, but it was still a long process.
I think I had to provide a narrative describing previous projects along with some other stuff which was atypical of most other states which I hold reciprocity. Also that new fingerprinting/background check exercise was another pain.

I have taken and passed the NCEES exams and am licensed in another jurisdiction. Can I obtain my license by reciprocity or comity?
The Act does not allow a true reciprocity or comity between Texas and another state, but does allow an individual licensee in another state and meeting the minimum requirements the ability to apply for a license. The Board will accept the results of NCEES examinations passed in another state. Anyone currently licensed in another state will need to submit a complete application including supplementary experience records (SERs), ethics exam, official transcripts, fee, references, and other applicable documents to support the request for licensure.
A current NCEES record may also be submitted in lieu of the SERs, official transcripts, professional engineer references, and exam and license verifications.

If it's like other things here lately, Gov. Perry has a family member who runs that business.

I got my fingerprints at the local small town sherrifs office. It was taking a little while for the person to get things into the computer and several deputies started to come in and gather around. Finally an apology for the delay came with an explanation that my name matched someone with an arrest warrant and I was close to being placed into custody. Now the FBI has more personal information than I would have cared to give them.
Sorry for the rant but I thought someone here may identify with it.

Oh, and by the way; THE HIGHEST ENGINEERING LICENSE RENEWAL FEES THAT I HAVE TO PAY. As a matter of fact, Texas has the highest renewal fee than any other state and you have to pay it every year. Everyone else is less and you pay for a two or three year renewal. And I'm registered in 9 states.
RE: Want to get Texas PE
The Texas fee is basically broken down as $35 renewal and $200 tax/moneygrab.
RE: Want to get Texas PE
So just to clarify, NCEES record can stand in place of SER? NCEES record, printout direct from the website? Or is this a written request to NCEES to mail official record?
Thank you.
RE: Want to get Texas PE
The SER was a bit more detailed.
