TX LPC Juris case studies
TX LPC Juris · Put your knowledge to work in context.
Candidates for the Texas LPC credential deal with a state board - the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors - which the board's own site describes as "the state board that licenses and regulates Licensed Professional Counselors in Texas." The board states that it "establishes qualifications for licensure, as well as the ethical standards to practice as a professional counselor in the state of Texas," and that its mission is "to protect the people of Texas by ensuring professional counselors are qualified and competent practitioners." It sits inside the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council, "created by the 86th Legislature in 2019," together with the marriage and family therapist, psychologist, and social worker boards. The Jurisprudence Examination appears as its own item in the board's Professional Counselors menu, listed separately from the National Licensure Examinations page. The TX LPC Juris case studies are 5 cases and about 3,680 words.
