Terms of Service and Privacy

The Service is designed to assist Texas water and wastewater professionals with information and tools related to occupational licensing, including:

• License and expiration-date tracking
• Continuing education hour tracking
• License renewal planning
• Training and course recommendations
• Licensing pathway information
• TCEQ testing-location information
• Water and wastewater training resources
• Regulatory and licensing reference information

The Service is intended as an organizational and informational tool only.

The Service is an independent resource and is not affiliated with, operated by, sponsored by, or endorsed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) or any other government agency.

TCEQ is the official authority for Texas occupational licensing requirements, examinations, renewals, training approvals, continuing education requirements, and regulatory interpretations.

Information presented through the Service should not replace official TCEQ information, correspondence, rules, regulations, or instructions.

Users are responsible for verifying licensing requirements and deadlines directly with TCEQ before making licensing, training, renewal, examination, or employment decisions.

The Service may display or calculate information concerning required training, continuing education hours, license classes, license progression, experience requirements, renewal dates, examination requirements, and course applicability.

These tools are provided for informational convenience. Use of the Service does not guarantee that a user:

• Qualifies for a particular license
• Meets TCEQ experience requirements
• Has completed all required training
• Will be approved to take an examination
• Will pass a licensing examination
• Will receive or renew a license
• Will receive credit for a particular course

Final licensing determinations are made by TCEQ.

The Service may provide information about courses offered by third-party training providers, including providers such as TEEX, TWUA, TRWA, colleges, universities, private training organizations, and other approved providers.

Course information may include course titles, training providers, continuing education hours, course codes, prices, delivery format, dates, locations, registration links, and TCEQ approval information.

Course schedules, prices, availability, approval status, and credit hours may change without notice. Users should verify course information directly with the training provider and TCEQ before registering or relying on a course for licensing or continuing education credit.

The Service does not guarantee the availability, accuracy, pricing, approval status, or suitability of any third-party course.

Certain features may allow users to enter or store information including name, email address, license numbers, license classes, license expiration dates, continuing education hours, completed courses, training records, and licensing goals.

Users are responsible for ensuring that information entered into the Service is accurate and current.

The Service should not be treated as the user's official licensing record. Users should retain official certificates, transcripts, TCEQ correspondence, licenses, and other licensing documentation.

The Service may provide renewal reminders, expiration alerts, continuing education calculations, or similar notifications. These features are provided as a convenience only.

The Service does not guarantee that a reminder or notification will be delivered, be delivered on time, reflect a recent TCEQ change, reflect changes to a user's official licensing record, or prevent a license from expiring.

Users remain solely responsible for monitoring and maintaining their licenses.

The Service may provide information regarding TCEQ licensing examinations and testing locations.

Testing locations, appointment availability, testing fees, eligibility requirements, examination duration, and testing procedures may change. Users must confirm examination eligibility and testing arrangements directly with TCEQ and the applicable testing center.

The Service may summarize, organize, or provide access to information concerning Texas regulations, TCEQ rules, licensing guidance, and related governmental resources.

Such information is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, regulatory, engineering, professional, or compliance advice.

Official statutes, rules, regulations, permits, orders, and agency guidance control in the event of any discrepancy.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, training providers, colleges, government agencies, testing centers, payment services, or other external resources.

We do not control and are not responsible for third-party websites, their content, availability, security practices, privacy practices, pricing, products or services, or transactions between users and third parties.

A link does not constitute an endorsement unless explicitly stated.

Users may not use the Service to:

• Violate applicable law
• Access another user's account without authorization
• Submit fraudulent or misleading licensing information
• Attempt to interfere with or compromise the Service
• Introduce malicious code
• Scrape, harvest, or systematically extract Service data without authorization
• Circumvent security features
• Reverse engineer protected portions of the Service except where legally permitted
• Use the Service for unlawful, fraudulent, or abusive purposes

Unless otherwise stated, the Service's original software, design, organization, text, graphics, databases, and original content are owned by or licensed to the Service operator and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Government publications, TCEQ materials, third-party course information, provider names, trademarks, and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners. Use of third-party names or references does not imply sponsorship or endorsement.

If users submit information, records, comments, documents, or other content to the Service, users represent that they have the right to provide that information.

Users retain ownership of their personal information and user-provided content, subject to the rights reasonably necessary for the Service to store, process, display, and use that information to provide requested features.

Use of personal information is governed by the Service's Privacy Policy. Users should review the Privacy Policy to understand how information is collected, used, stored, and protected.

Where applicable, Texas residents may have rights concerning their personal data under Texas law. Texas law includes requirements concerning the protection and processing of personal information.

Nothing provided through the Service constitutes legal, regulatory, engineering, employment, financial advice, or a professional opinion issued on behalf of TCEQ.

Users should consult the appropriate agency or qualified professional when professional advice is required.

We make reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate information. However, licensing rules, training requirements, regulations, course information, testing locations, provider schedules, prices, and governmental guidance may change.

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of uninterrupted operation, complete accuracy, or fitness for a particular licensing purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Service operator and its owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of or reliance on the Service.

This includes losses arising from:

• Missed renewal deadlines
• License expiration
• Incorrect or incomplete continuing education records
• Course cancellations
• Course-credit determinations
• Examination eligibility
• Failed examinations
• Employment consequences
• Regulatory changes
• Third-party services
• Reliance on information displayed by the Service

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

We may modify, suspend, discontinue, add, or remove Service features at any time.

We may also update these Terms as the Service, applicable laws, or regulatory requirements change. The updated effective date will appear at the top of these Terms.

Continued use of the Service after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the Service when reasonably necessary due to violation of these Terms, fraud or suspected fraud, security concerns, abuse of the Service, legal requirements, or conduct that threatens the Service or other users.

Users may stop using the Service at any time.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or use of the Service will be subject to applicable Texas and federal law.

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional policies or notices presented through the Service, constitute the agreement governing use of the Service.
