Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Per 157.33 of the EMS Rules Reciprocity. A person currently certified by the NR or in another state may be certified by submitting an application and a nonrefundable fee of $120. After evaluation of the application & verification of the certification by the department, the candidate will be certifed for one yr. Prior to the expiration of the one yr certifcation, the certificant shall: (A) submit a completed personnel certification application & a nonrefundable fee as in subsection (a)(4) of this section; ( pass the department's written exam or NR exam within one yr after the initial reciprocity certification has been granted. In a nutshell, you have to have a Texas certification before you can work in Texas on an ambulance.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 You can get a copy of the application from the Texas Department of Health web site. You just need your NR card, the application and a check. They will issue you a Texas paramedic certificate based on that. cert question What are the requirements for an out of state NR paramedic to work in Texas?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Sorry about that, I thought that it was still the same. I'll have to go back and print out the new 157.36 then.
