CPA Mobility Becomes Law
This important legislation modernizes CPA practice mobility in Texas, reflecting the evolving landscape of licensure across the country.
AUSTIN (MAY 20, 2025) - TXCPA is proud to announce another significant legislative victory for the CPA profession in Texas.
On May 19, Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 522 (CPA Mobility) into law. This new statute ensures that current and future CPAs licensed in other states can continue serving businesses and taxpayers in Texas by updating CPA mobility rules.
Effective September 1, 2025, CPAs from other states will be allowed to practice in Texas if they meet the following requirements:
- Hold a valid CPA license from another state and be in good standing
- Have a bachelor’s degree with the required accounting concentration
- Possess 1–2 years of relevant work experience (based on their state’s education requirements)
- Have passed the Uniform CPA Examination
- Agree to comply with Texas laws and oversight by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy
This important legislation modernizes CPA practice mobility in Texas, reflecting the evolving landscape of licensure across the country. As more states begin to introduce alternative pathways to CPA licensure, updating Texas’s mobility rules was both timely and necessary.
