Free Texas CME tracker: see what TMB requires for your renewal

TexasCMELog is a free, no-account tool for Texas physicians. Upload a CME certificate and it fills in the course details, checks your hours against Texas Medical Board rules (22 TAC §161.35), and shows what you still need this cycle. Then copy each course into your free CE Broker Basic account, which TMB requires for renewals on or after September 1, 2026. Your data stays in your browser.

Why Basic is enough

TMB requires a CE Broker account for renewals on or after September 1, 2026, but says the free Basic account meets the requirement. Paid plans are optional. Basic doesn't do the "what's missing" math. TexasCMELog does it free.
