1. (a) A temporary license may be issued to an examination candidate. The temporary license is valid until the end of the third month after the month in which the temporary license is issued, or until score reports are received by the examination candidate, whichever occurs first. The Coordinator may extend the temporary license for one additional month to offset an unreasonable delay in reporting the examination results to a candidate.
2. (b) A candidate is eligible for a temporary license when the following has been received and the application has been approved for a temporary license by the coordinator: all documentation required by §329.1 of this title (relating to General Licensing Procedure) with the exception of the scores; all documentation required by §329.2 of this title (relating to Licensure by Examination), all documentation required by §329.5 of this title (relating to Licensing Procedures for Foreign-Trained Students), a copy of the notarized affidavit of temporary license supervision, and all required fees. A candidate who has taken the examination in Texas or another state is not eligible for a temporary license. A candidate who has taken and failed the physical therapist examination is not eligible for a temporary license as a physical therapist assistant.
3. (c) The examination is not complete until the score has been reported to the candidate. All previous takes of the physical therapy licensure examinations, regardless of locations, are counted toward the total number of takes for Texas licensure. A temporary license is void 90 days from the date of issuance or upon the receipt of the scores of the examination, whichever occurs first. The void temporary license must be returned immediately to the board office upon notification of failure of examination.
4. (d) Supervision of temporary license. A person with a temporary physical therapist license while engaged in the practice of physical therapy must have on-site supervision by a physical therapist with a permanent license. A person with a temporary physical therapist assistant license while engaged in the practice of physical therapy must have on-site supervision by a physical therapist with a permanent license or a physical therapist assistant with a permanent license.
5. (e) Mailing of temporary license. A temporary license will be mailed only to the residential address of record of the applicant within the United States, territories of the United States, or to a United States military base.
