What is required to maintain a massage therapy license in good standing?

Maintaining a massage therapy license in good standing primarily requires adherence to ethical standards and compliance with regulations set by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). This includes upholding professional conduct, following proper treatment protocols, and abiding by the laws governing practice in the state. The emphasis on ethical standards ensures that practitioners not only provide quality services but also respect the rights and dignity of their clients.

While items such as professional insurance, continuing education, and health examinations may also be beneficial and may be required by some employers or insurance policies, they are not mandated legal requirements for maintaining a license. The core obligation lies in ensuring that the massage therapist operates within the ethical and regulatory framework established by the TDLR, which prioritizes public safety and professionalism in the field.
