Sample TX LPC Juris Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the TX LPC Juris exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 140+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which Texas statute establishes the licensure requirements and scope of practice for Licensed Professional Counselors?
A.Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 611, which governs mental health confidentiality and disclosure exceptions
B.Texas Occupations Code Chapter 503
C.Texas Family Code Chapter 261, which establishes mandatory child abuse reporting duties
D.Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 81, which addresses sexual exploitation by mental health services providers
Explanation: Texas Occupations Code Chapter 503, known as the Licensed Professional Counselor Act (LPC Act), is the primary statute governing LPC licensure in Texas. It defines who may practice as an LPC, establishes licensing requirements, scope of practice, and grounds for disciplinary action. Chapter 611 addresses mental health confidentiality, Chapter 261 covers child abuse reporting, and Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 81 addresses sexual exploitation by mental health services providers.
2What is the minimum passing score for the Texas LPC Jurisprudence Examination?
A.60%
B.70%
C.75%
D.80%
Explanation: The Texas LPC Jurisprudence Examination requires a minimum passing score of 75%. BHEC administers the exam online through eStrategy Solutions for a $39 fee. It is open-book with no time limit and allows unlimited retakes until a passing score is achieved. Passing results are valid for 6 months from the date of passing for initial licensure applications.
3Which agency has regulatory authority over Licensed Professional Counselors in Texas?
A.Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS)
B.Texas Medical Board
C.Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC)
D.Texas Education Agency
Explanation: The Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC) was created in 2019 by HB 1501 and has regulatory authority over LPCs, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, and social workers in Texas. BHEC replaced the former independent advisory boards as the primary regulatory body, though advisory boards still provide recommendations on discipline and standards.
4A Texas LPC determines that there is a probability of imminent physical injury by a patient to the patient or others. Which disclosure is authorized by Health and Safety Code §611.004(a)(2)?
A.Disclosure to any employer who asks about the patient’s risk
B.Disclosure to medical, mental health, or law-enforcement personnel
C.Disclosure to any family member who promises to keep it private
D.Disclosure to a threatened person solely because this subsection names them
Explanation: Section 611.004(a)(2) identifies medical, mental health, and law-enforcement personnel as authorized recipients when its risk threshold is met. It also covers a probability of immediate mental or emotional injury to the patient. This subsection does not by itself authorize disclosure to any family member, employer, or threatened person. Section 611.002(b-1) says confidentiality exceptions do not create an independent disclosure duty.
5Which comparison accurately distinguishes Texas Health and Safety Code §611.004(a)(2) from California Civil Code §43.92 when a California patient communicates a serious threat of physical violence against a reasonably identifiable victim?
A.Texas mandates warning the victim; California only permits protective disclosure
B.Both states require warning every threatened person under the Texas exception
C.Texas permits specified disclosures; California recognizes a duty to protect
D.Both states prohibit protective disclosure unless the patient consents in writing
Explanation: Texas §611.004(a)(2) permits disclosure to specified medical, mental health, or law-enforcement personnel at its stated risk thresholds; §611.002(b-1) does not make the exception an independent duty to disclose. It is not general permission to warn any potential victim directly. California Civil Code §43.92 recognizes a psychotherapist’s duty to protect under the stated communicated-threat circumstances and describes reasonable efforts to communicate the threat to the victim and law enforcement as a way to discharge it. These are different state frameworks; separate reporting duties remain applicable.
6Under Texas Family Code Chapter 261, within how many hours must a professional counselor report suspected child abuse or neglect to DFPS?
A.24 hours
B.48 hours
C.72 hours
D.5 business days
Explanation: Under Texas Family Code Chapter 261, a person who suspects child abuse or neglect must make a report to the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) no later than 48 hours after the person first suspects the abuse or neglect. In Texas, this is a universal mandatory reporting requirement that applies to all persons, not just professionals.
7Which of the following is TRUE about mandatory reporting of child abuse in Texas?
A.Only licensed professionals such as physicians, teachers, and counselors are mandated reporters
B.Only teachers and physicians are mandated reporters under Family Code Chapter 261
C.All persons who suspect child abuse or neglect are mandated reporters
D.Counselors are exempt from mandatory reporting because of professional confidentiality rules
Explanation: Texas has a universal mandatory reporting law. Under Family Code Chapter 261, all persons who suspect child abuse or neglect are mandated reporters, not just professionals. This means counselors, as well as any other individual, must report suspected abuse or neglect to DFPS within 48 hours. Failure to report is a criminal offense.
8Under Texas Human Resources Code Chapter 48, what type of abuse must be reported?
A.Only child abuse as defined in Family Code Chapter 261
B.Only spousal or intimate-partner abuse between adults
C.Abuse, neglect, or exploitation of elderly or disabled persons
D.Only financial exploitation of elderly persons without neglect or physical abuse
Explanation: Texas Human Resources Code Chapter 48 addresses the reporting of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of elderly persons (age 65 and older) and persons with disabilities. Reports are made to the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) Adult Protective Services division. This is separate from the child abuse reporting requirements under Family Code Chapter 261.
9What does Texas Rule of Evidence 510 establish regarding mental health information in civil cases?
A.Mandatory reporting requirements for counselors to DFPS and law enforcement
B.Fee schedules and insurance reimbursement rates for counseling services
C.Psychotherapist-patient privilege in judicial proceedings
D.Continuing education and biennial renewal requirements for LPC licensure
Explanation: Texas Rule of Evidence 510 protects confidential patient-professional communications and specified mental health records in civil cases, subject to its exceptions and waiver provisions. Health and Safety Code Chapter 611 also governs mental health confidentiality and authorized disclosures. Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 81 addresses sexual exploitation by mental health services providers; it is not the source of this evidentiary privilege.
10Under Family Code Chapter 32, which of the following minors may consent to their own counseling in Texas?
A.Any minor under age 18 may consent to any form of outpatient counseling without parental involvement
B.Only minors age 16 or older may consent to all counseling services in every setting
C.Minors on active duty, age 16+ living apart and self-supporting, or consenting for substance abuse or assault-related care under Chapter 32
D.Only emancipated minors with a court order may ever consent to counseling in Texas
Explanation: Texas Family Code Chapter 32 permits certain categories of minors to consent to their own treatment, including: those on active duty in the armed services, those 16 years or older living apart from parents and managing their own affairs, and minors consenting to treatment related to substance abuse, sexual assault, or certain other conditions. General counseling for minors under 18 still typically requires parental consent.

Does Texas require a duty to warn for LPCs?

Health & Safety Code §611.004(a)(2) permits disclosure to medical, mental health, or law-enforcement personnel if the professional determines there is a probability of imminent physical injury by the patient to the patient or others, or immediate mental or emotional injury to the patient. Section 611.002(b-1) says the confidentiality exceptions do not create an independent disclosure duty. This exception does not itself authorize warning any threatened person directly. Section 611.004(a-1) protects the specified authorized or licensed professionals for disclosures made in accordance with (a)(2); it is not blanket immunity for any good-faith disclosure. Separate mandatory-reporting duties still apply.
