Restrictions on Access
Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall under Public
Information Act exceptions including, but not limited to: social security numbers
(V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.147), an archivist must review these records
before they can be accessed for research. The records may be requested for research
under the provisions of the Public Information Act (V.T.C.A., Government Code,
Chapter 552). The researcher may request an interview with an archivist or submit a
request by mail (Texas State Library and Archives Commission, P. O. Box 12927,
Austin, TX 78711), fax (512-463-5436), email (Dir_Lib@tsl.state.tx.us), or see our
web page (https://www.tsl.state.tx.us/agency/customer/pia.html). Include enough
description and detail about the information requested to enable the archivist to
accurately identify and locate the information. If our review reveals information
that may be excepted by the Public Information Act, we are obligated to seek an open
records decision from the Attorney General on whether the records can be released.
The Public Information Act allows the Archives ten working days after receiving a
request to make this determination. The Attorney General has 45 working days to
render a decision. Alternately, the Archives can inform you of the nature of the
potentially excepted information and if you agree, that information can be redacted
or removed and you can access the remainder of the records.
Materials do not circulate, but may be used in the State Archives search room.
Materials will be retrieved from and returned to storage areas by staff members.

used in any way. State records also include materials received by, not created by,
state agencies. Copyright remains with the creator. The researcher is responsible
for complying with U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17 U.S.C.).

Agency History
The Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors was established in 1999
(Senate Bill 1369, 76th Texas Legislature, Regular Session) and consists of nine
members appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the state senate,
for staggered six-year terms. Five are licensed professional counselors (at least
three of whom are in private practice and at least one of whom is a counselor
educator), and four represent the general public. The board's general duties are to
determine the qualifications and fitness of an applicant for a license, license
renewal, or provisional license; to examine for, deny, approve, issue, revoke,
suspend, suspend on an emergency basis, place on probation, and renew the license of
an applicant or license holder; to adopt and publish a code of ethics; and by rule
to adopt a list of authorized counseling methods or practices that a license holder
may undertake or perform. The board is administered by the Texas Department of State
Health Services Professional Licensing and Certification Unit.
