Reciprocity

If you wish to come into Texas to use radioactive material under your own state or NRC-specific license, you must apply for reciprocal recognition for your state's license to work in Texas. If approved, we will send you an authorization letter allowing you to work in Texas. The reciprocity agreement is in effect for two years. We ask that you give us 72 hours' notice each time you enter the state to perform work.

How to apply for reciprocity?

To apply for reciprocity submit:

RC 252-5, RAM Reciprocity Application.
RC 252-1, Business Information Form.
A copy of your current radioactive materials license.
A copy or your Operating, Safety, and Emergency procedures for the license.
The required fee. For the fee amount contact (512) 231-5623 or RadiationFeesandRecords@dshs.texas.gov.
Check or money order with the required fee and a copy of RC Form 252-5 “RAM Reciprocity Application” to the address on the form.

Prior to performing radiation work in Texas, submit RC Form 252-3, “Notice of Intent to Work in the State of Texas Under Reciprocity” to RAMNotice@dshs.texas.gov or fax to 512-483-3430.
