TX HHS Form 3247. Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Provider (LSOTP) and Affiliate Sex Offender Treatment Provider (ASOTP) License Renewal Application

The TX HHS Form 3247, Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Provider (LSOTP) and Affiliate Sex Offender Treatment Provider (ASOTP) License Renewal Application, is used to renew a license for sex offender treatment providers in Texas. This form helps solve the problem of ensuring that licensed professionals continue to meet the necessary requirements and standards for practicing sex offender treatment.

This application has several key features. The first section requires the licensee to select one renewal option: either completing the online renewal process and paying specialty fees or renewing by mail without renewing online. The form also asks for licensee information, including name, email address, and license number. Additionally, the form outlines the requirements for continuing education (CE) hours, including the need to request an extension in writing at least 30 days before the license expiration date.

The application also includes important sections related to CE reporting and audit selection. If selected for audit, licensees must submit copies of certificates or other documentation verifying CE hours earned during the last two years. Failure to provide this information or knowingly providing false information can result in disciplinary action against a licensee. Finally, the form requires the licensee's signature and attestation that all information contained in the application is true and correct.
