What mistakes delay LCSW licensure in Texas?

The most common delays come from:

  • incomplete or inconsistent hour tracking

  • working under a supervisor without a clear agreement

  • gaps in supervision frequency

  • misunderstanding what counts as clinical hours

  • waiting too long to verify requirements

In practice, these issues don’t show up until you apply — and then they can delay approval by months.

Clear structure and documentation from the beginning prevent almost all of these problems.
