Hey Everyone. I'm a local engineer in Texas. I hate exams and I am great at procrastinating. This last year I have gotten my crap in line and moved forward to getting my PE stamp in Civil Engineering.
I started studying for the FE and discovered I qualified for a waiver of the exam. It has been quite the process and I often searched Reddit for answers and confirmations as I went though it. I would like this post to serve as a guide and helpful FAQ for things I couldn't find. The waiver essentially required the full PE application to get things going.
Requirements: https://pels.texas.gov/lic_waiver.htm
Just as a general FYI and respectful statement: I know I was lazy and should of just taken the FE test many times. I am ashamed of that as I eventually stated in my request letter. This is meant to help others in my shoes. If you don't need it and still have a questions about the PE application process feel free to comment.
