Maintain and discuss with the client an ongoing plan of service that is amended as necessary. Document termination of services and make referrals where appropriate. The social work board, with the assistance of the department, develops and implements the rules for licensure. Prior to implementation, any change in the rules must be published for public review and comment. The licensing law, Chapter 50 of the Human Resources Code, and the rules, are printed each year in the Directory of Social Workers and sent to all current license holders.
Additional copies are available from the department on request.
The department also publishes brochures and a periodic newsletter containing information on licensing and continuing education.
