Test Center Availability in Texas

Test centers are beginning to re-open across the state. As they do, they may have reduced capacity in order to meet health and safety guidelines and physical distancing restrictions. As a result, in your search for available appointments, you may need to broaden your search geographically or extend your search to future dates. Since additional appointments may become available as more sites re-open over time, you can monitor seat availability and reschedule if desired.

We thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we work towards providing as many exam appointments as possible, while maintaining appropriate safety measures.
