The exam fee
Pearson VUE's candidate handbook lists USD 49 for the InsTX-LAH05 exam. Candidates pay when reserving the appointment, and a retake is a new exam registration at the same listed fee. Verify the amount in Pearson VUE's live booking system before payment because fees can change.
The exam is one sitting: its general and Texas questions count toward one result. A retake means booking the examination again, not buying a separate Texas section. See how to register, format and question split, and retake rules.
The license application fee
TDI lists a USD 50 application fee for a resident individual agent. It is separate from the Pearson VUE examination fee and is paid with the license application after the exam. TDI warns that applying before passing can require a new application and another fee, so follow its order of steps.
The application must be filed within one year of passing or TDI says you will need to retake the exam. TDI's current General Lines license instructions explain fingerprints and application filing. Check your own situation because exceptions to fingerprint requirements apply.
Fingerprinting and other separate costs
Most applicants need a fingerprint background check. TDI directs applicants to begin through its initial application and fingerprint portal to receive instructions and a service code. Because TDI's page does not publish the current vendor amount, this article does not estimate it. Check the IdentoGO process after receiving TDI's instructions.
Texas does not require pre-licensing education for this license. Preparation materials are optional and their prices vary by provider; they are not included in the exam or license application fee. The official Pearson VUE handbook and TDI licensing page are the sources for fees and requirements.
Practice before you book
The USD 49 fee applies each time you sit. Before paying, check the current outline, practice in both general and Texas content, and review questions you miss. A mock exam can help identify topics to study, though it cannot guarantee a live result. Try the free Texas Life and Health mock or see the full preparation course.
