Before You Begin
- ✅ Confirm your TDLR renewal date. Texas dietitian licenses renew biennially through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Log in to your TDLR account to verify your next renewal date and whether it falls on or after January 1, 2027.
- ✅ Determine if SB 25 applies to your next renewal. The nutrition CE requirement takes effect for renewals on or after January 1, 2027. If your renewal falls before that date, SB 25 does not apply to your current cycle — but completing the course now still counts toward your TDLR and CDR totals.
- ✅ Know your CE requirements. Texas dietitians must complete 12 hours of CE per 2-year TDLR cycle. Separately, CDR requires 75 CPEUs per 5-year recertification cycle. This course counts toward both.
Step 1: Complete Your Nutrition CE
- ✅ Enroll in a CDR-accredited nutrition and metabolic health course. The course must provide CDR CPEU credit to count toward both your TDLR and CDR requirements.
- ✅ Complete the nutrition and metabolic health CE. This satisfies the SB 25 mandate for your renewal cycle.
- ✅ Pass the course assessment. You must demonstrate understanding of the material to earn your CE credit.

Step 2: Download and Store Your Certificate
- ✅ Download your certificate immediately upon completion. With Renew Now CE, your certificate is available for instant download — no waiting period.
- ✅ Save a digital copy in a dedicated folder for your CE records.
- ✅ Print a backup copy for your physical files. Both TDLR and CDR may audit for compliance, so having your certificate readily accessible is essential.
Step 3: Log Your Credit
- ✅ Log 1.0 CPEU in your CDR Activity Log. Record the course completion in your CDR professional development portfolio for your 5-year recertification cycle.
- ✅ Track this hour toward your TDLR 12-hour total. Keep a running count of your completed CE hours for your current biennial TDLR renewal cycle.
- ✅ Verify all other CE requirements are met. Review TDLR requirements for any additional mandated topics and confirm your CDR CPEU progress.
Step 4: Renew Your License
- ✅ Attest to completion during TDLR renewal. When renewing online through TDLR, you will attest that you have completed all required CE hours, including nutrition and metabolic health training under SB 25.
- ✅ Do not submit your certificate unless requested. Routine TDLR renewal does not require certificate submission, but TDLR may request documentation during an audit.
- ✅ Maintain your CDR Activity Log. Ensure all CPEUs are properly recorded for your 5-year recertification.
- ✅ Retain your certificate for the full renewal cycle. Keep all CE certificates on file for both TDLR and CDR until at least your next renewal or recertification is complete.
