Texas HB759 creates a temporary educator certificate for those certified in other states.

Texas HB759 amends the Education Code to establish a temporary certification process for educators certified by other states. The State Board for Educator Certification must issue these temporary certificates to eligible individuals. To qualify, educators must hold a valid, unexpired certificate from another state and a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution. The temporary certificate expires one year after issuance unless extended by board rule. Spouses of active-duty military members receive a three-year certificate.
