Texas HB5629 allows military spouses to practice licensed occupations without a Texas license if they hold a similar license from another.

Texas HB5629 amends the state's Occupations Code to allow military spouses to engage in licensed occupations without obtaining a Texas license if they hold a similar license from another jurisdiction. This applies to military service members and veterans as well, provided their out-of-state licenses meet Texas's licensing requirements. Military spouses must notify the relevant state agency, submit their military ID, and receive confirmation of their out-of-state license's validity.
