Why D is correct
Under TIC 4004.051-.054 and 28 TAC 19.1001-.1030, a general lines agent must complete 24 hours of approved continuing education every two-year license term, and at least half of those hours must be completed in a classroom or equivalent setting rather than by self-study. The 10-hour figure applies only to limited lines, county mutual, and life-not-exceeding-$25,000 licenses. A deficient term blocks renewal and can trigger a per-hour fine under 28 TAC 19.1016.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) At least half of the hours must be in a classroom or equivalent setting, so a fully self-study term does not satisfy the rule.
- B) This option repeats the limited-lines hour count and also omits the classroom minimum; both parts are wrong for general lines.
- C) 10 hours is the requirement for limited lines, county mutual and life-not-exceeding-$25,000 licenses, not for general lines.
Memory hook
General lines live by 24: 24 hours per term, and half of them in a classroom seat.
