Once TDLR receives your completed application, what will they do?

When TDLR receives your completed application, the process involves various steps to ensure that they have all the necessary information and that you meet the requirements for licensing. One of these key steps is to send you an email with instructions related specifically to scheduling fingerprinting. This is an essential part of the application process, as fingerprinting is used for background checks to ensure the applicant meets the legal standards for practice.

This step is crucial because it helps TDLR verify your identity and assess any potential criminal history that might affect your ability to be licensed. Providing clear instructions allows you to proceed efficiently in completing the requirements necessary for your massage therapy application.

Other steps, such as scheduling an exam, may occur later in the process, while the confirmation letter is typically sent to acknowledge receipt of your application rather than to guide you through specific next steps like fingerprint scheduling. Additionally, contacting references is not an immediate follow-up action taken upon application receipt by TDLR.
