Once you pass the jurisprudence exam and TMB indicates
your file is complete, it can still take upwards of two to four
months for the review process. The more complicated your
file, the more lengthy the review. When the review is
completed, you will be scheduled for a personal
interview with the TMB in Austin at which time you will
receive a temporary license. Your permanent license
will be mailed.
Please keep all related receipts as some may be reimbursable to you once employed by UT Southwestern.
You will also need to obtain DPS and DEA certificates.
