The fine print most trackers miss
Texas-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LPC associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- Texas LPC Associate license is required before supervised experience hours begin to count
- No more than 50% of total supervision may be group supervision
- Texas LPC Jurisprudence Exam is required before full LPC licensure
- Must remain under supervision until the full LPC license is issued
Built for Texas
How ClearPath handles Texas LPC
- Live rule validation. Every entry is checked against the 3,000-hour total, the 1,500-hour direct-client minimum, and the supervision ratios at the time you log it.
- Auto-filled official form. When you're ready to apply, ClearPath fills the official form of the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC) from your records. It is the same PDF the board accepts, not a reproduction.
- Supervisor portal. Your supervisor logs in, reviews your weekly entries, and e-signs without printing. No paper PDFs, no scanning.
- AI hour reviewer. Ask plain-language questions about your log ("what week did I miss a supervision hour?") and get the exact answer in seconds.
- $25/year. One quarter the price of the legacy tracker.
