The Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors acted on three licensing cases referred from the Licensing and Registration Committee involving applicants with recent arrests or judgments. The board approved motions tied to additional ethics-training conditions and return-to-committee requirements.

Licensing committee members recommended that Christian Anderson McCann be approved for standard Texas PE licensure after submitting documentation and "successful completion of the 30 hour basic level ethics course from Texas Tech, Mardal Center for Engineering," and the board approved that motion by voice vote. The committee recommended that Jeremy Keith Ray and Eric Aaron Guillermo Vasquez return to the licensing committee after each submits documentation of successful completion of a 60-hour intermediate-level ethics course from Texas Tech; the board moved and approved both committee referrals.

Committee members explained the conditions were intended to ensure applicants address the behavior that led to arrests or judgments and to give reviewers an opportunity to confirm remediation through coursework and documentation before full licensure action. The board discussed timing and the expectation that applicants would report back to the committee after completing the required training.

What's next: Each applicant will either be approved or return to the licensing committee only after the board or committee receives the required documentation of completed coursework and any other requested materials. The board did not record roll-call tallies for these motions; each was adopted by voice vote.
