Texas Behavior Analyst Assistant license lookup — free

A Behavior Analyst Assistant is a supervised paraprofessional who works under a licensed Behavior Analyst, typically providing direct ABA therapy under that analyst's oversight rather than designing treatment plans independently. Like the analyst license above it, TDLR doesn't set its own continuing-education hour count for this role — it instead relies on the holder maintaining an active national certification. Clinics and families use this license number to confirm an assistant is both nationally certified and authorized by the state to work in this role. Because the license depends on an outside certification staying current, letting either one lapse can quietly take an assistant out of eligibility to work.

This license shares the same two-year renewal cycle as the full Behavior Analyst license, on the same TDLR program page. The same certification-substitution rule applies here too — an active BACB or QABA certification plus an HHSC-approved human trafficking prevention course, with no separate TDLR-set CE hour count for assistants specifically. Renewing late follows the same tiered structure against a $110 base fee: 1.5 times normal within 90 days of expiration, 2 times normal from 91 days to 18 months, and that doubled rate through a mailed Executive Director approval request out to three years. As with the full analyst license, TDLR's page doesn't spell out what happens beyond three years expired, so check with TDLR directly if a license has been lapsed that long.
