This section provides information on Medical Radiologic Technologists options for retirement and cancellation by request. 

The retired status exempts general or limited medical radiologic technologists (MRT/LMRT), or non-certified radiologic technician (NCT) registry permit holders from the registration process, registration fee, and Continuing Education requirements.

 

The following restrictions apply to MRTs/LMRTs and NCTs whose licenses are on retired status:

 

  1. the certificate or permit holder must not engage in clinical activities requiring a certificate or permit in Texas, and
  2. to be eligible for retired status, the certificate or permit holder must not be under an investigation or otherwise have a restricted license.

 

To return to practice from retired status, a certificate or permit holder must submit an application online for re-activation/re-licensure and meet all of the current requirements for licensure.  

 

To request retired status, complete and return the appropriate retirement request form (link below) to the Board for approval before the expiration date of the current registration permit. Refunds of registration fees already paid cannot be made.

 

If an individual is ineligible for retired status, biennial registration, including the fee and continuing education, are required to keep the license current.

 

Because this form must be received by our office before the expiration date of the current certificate, completed and bearing original signatures, as well as bearing an original seal of notary public, it cannot be faxed back to our office.

Refunds of application/registration fees are available in very limited circumstances. These fees may be refunded in cases of administrative error by the TMB; applicants who withdraw their applications within 45 days of initial application, licensees who retire or request cancellation within 90 days of paying the fee, or on behalf of applicants/licensees who die within 90 days of paying the fee. A pro-rated refund may be requested for good cause by a spouse or personal representative of an applicant/licensee who has died more than 90 days after paying the application/registration fee.
