Texas Examinations of Educator Standards (TExES)

The Texas Examinations of Educator Standards are state-mandated examinations whose purpose is to ensure that educators possess the necessary content and professional knowledge to teach in the Texas public schools. Individuals seeking certification in the State of Texas must pass the required tests before they can be recommended for a teacher certificate and/or endorsement.

TExES tests are criterion-referenced. This means that they are designed to measure an individual's knowledge in relation to an established standard of competence rather than in relation to the performance of other individuals.

The UTSA TExES registration deadline will be three days prior to the date published in the TExES registration bulletin.

Further information on required TExES tests can be obtained in the COEHD Advising and Certification Center, the Office of the TExES Coordinator, or from the UTSA TExES Web site: http://coehd.utsa.edu/.
