Why D is correct
Under TIC 4001.155, a temporary license is valid for 180 days after the date of issuance. The statute formerly set the term at 90 days, and many older study materials still show 90, so the current 180-day figure is the one to carry into the exam room. The temporary license lets the recruit solicit insurance while the regular licensing process is completed, but the licensing examination must be passed within that window for the holder to receive a permanent license.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 90 days was the term before the 2021 amendment; TIC 4001.155 now provides 180 days.
- B) The term is fixed by statute from the date of issuance; appointment termination does not extend or shorten it.
- C) One year overstates the statutory term; the temporary license expires 180 days after issuance.
Memory hook
Temporary license: 180 days, not the old 90.
