Texas board and exam-day planning
- Follow the registration and scheduling instructions in your PSI eligibility email after your training hours have been reported.
- On the TDLR exam page, select the Candidate Information Bulletin for your exact license and language: Cosmetology Operator, Cosmetology Manicurist, or Esthetician. A Class A Barber bulletin is a different license.
- Read the identification policy and exam-site details in that bulletin. Check the appointment confirmation for the exam type and location before travelling.

Use your exam appointment instructions for the testing address. A school campus or licensing agency office is not automatically a testing center.
Taking your exam in Vietnamese?

Texas: Vietnamese exam language — Manicurist
TDLR links Vietnamese candidate bulletins, and the current PSI catalogue lists Vietnamese written and practical selections for this license. On-day Vietnamese practical instructions and a Vietnamese-speaking proctor are not verified.
- Wait for PSI eligibility instructions after the training record is approved.
- Select the exact Texas license, written or practical part and Vietnamese language. Follow the current candidate bulletin and appointment confirmation.
- The practical bulletin requires English product labels. Confirm spoken instructions and any language support directly with PSI; accommodation approval is a separate process.
CEP study language does not determine the official exam language. Confirm the exact license, exam part, language and appointment with the Board or PSI. A translated guide does not promise a Vietnamese-speaking examiner.
Verify before applying. Licensing rules, fees, providers, and exam formats can change. Use the linked board source as the final authority.
