A major milestone for the CPA profession is here.

On August 1, 2026, Texas' new CPA licensure pathway becomes effective. The new pathway to licensure, SB 262 was passed unanimously by the Texas Legislature in 2025. Thanks to this landmark legislation, Texas became one of the first states to expand pathways to CPA licensure—helping strengthen the profession and address the CPA pipeline.

The new pathway allows CPA candidates to earn licensure by completing a bachelor's degree with the required accounting and business coursework, completing two years of qualifying work experience and passing the Uniform CPA Examination.

This is a significant advocacy win for TXCPA. Thank you to Senator Charles Perry and Representative Angie Chen Button for championing this legislation, and to the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy for its work implementing the new pathway rules.
