The T3C Credentialing Countdown is On...
All Texas providers must attain their full T3C credential before September 1, 2027. With less than two years remaining to the full roll-out of T3C across the state, nearly 55% of Texas children and youth are already being served in T3C Service Packages. At this time, the T3C Credentialing Platform is open and accepting applications for the Full Credential (for Child Placing Agencies and General Residential Operations).
Whether your organization is almost Credentialed or hasn’t gotten started, the Center is here to help.
