I am a licensed apprentice falconer in California; I may be moving to Texas soon. Do any Texas falconers know if I can transfer my appenticeship to Texas without having to take the exam again in TX?
Thanks

I believe an apprentice permit it treated as any other permit. Rule regarding relocation are located below.
(f) A person who relocates to Texas and holds the valid equivalent of a permit issued under this subchapter issued by another state, territory, or tribe may retain raptors the person lawfully possesses; however, the person shall submit an application for the appropriate Texas permit within 30 days of relocation to this state. The department will not issue a permit until the applicant's facilities have passed an inspection conducted by a department representative or designee. All inspections shall be in the presence of the permittee or the property owner (if the facility is located on property that is not owned by the permittee).
No test, but Mews must be inspected. To be sure you can always email the state. If you need contact information send me a private message I will do what I can to help.

if i remember correctly you will need to find a sponsor here in Texas to take you on to complete your apprenticeship too.. so if you don't get a sponsor to take you on in the time given you might have to take the test again.
