Terms of Service
The service
CPAPath is a self-serve preflight tool that maps a transcript you enter against publicly published Texas CPA education requirements. It runs in your browser and produces guidance only.
Not an official determination
CPAPath is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy (TSBPA) or any licensing authority. Every result is non-authoritative. TSBPA alone decides whether you meet the requirements, including whether a specific course's content counts. Always verify with TSBPA before relying on a result.
Rule currency
Rule thresholds encoded in the tool are provisional and pending expert verification. Requirements change (for example, rule changes effective August 1, 2026). We cite each rule's source and last-verified date, but you must confirm the current rule applies to your situation.
Your responsibility
You are responsible for the accuracy of the courses you enter and for any decision you make based on the report, including applying to sit for the exam or for licensure. CPAPath does not assess course content or make content-equivalency decisions.
Anonymous plan links
The optional “Save & continue later” feature stores the course list you entered under a random link id for 60 days, with no account or email. Anyone holding that link can view the saved list — treat it like a paper copy. Do not save a list you would not share; saved links delete themselves after 60 days.
Payment & access
The paid plan is a personal license: $29.00 USD, one payment, sold through Lemon Squeezy, our Merchant of Record, which handles payment and tax. It grants 12 calendar months of access for one student, starting at the verified purchase time, and it does not automatically renew — when it ends, access continues only if you choose to buy again (the new license starts from that new purchase). The license is strictly personal: it covers one student's own coursework, and sharing access with a team, class, school, or friends — for example by forwarding sign-in links or letting others use your session — is not permitted. The license covers unlimited re-checks of your own coursework, subject to reasonable technical rate limits that protect the service for everyone. Access is tied to your account — verified through your email address — not to knowing an order number. See the Refund policy for revocation terms.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, CPAPath and its operators are not liable for any damages — including application denials, delayed licensure, lost wages, or course expenses — arising from your use of, or reliance on, the tool. The tool is provided as-is, without warranty of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose.
Changes
We may update these terms and the encoded rules as requirements change. Material changes will be reflected in the rule version shown on every report. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
Affiliate disclosure
Some links on our guide pages are affiliate links: if you purchase through them, the provider pays us a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never influence our verdicts, hour math, or any number the rule engine produces — the tool, the report and the engine contain no affiliate content and never will. We only link providers we would describe accurately in the same guides. Current programs: Becker CPA Review (via Yazing).
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
