What the Texas written exam covers
State rule 26 TAC §556.6, read October 8, 2026, gives the written or oral examination 60 scored multiple-choice questions on each course requirement of the Texas Curriculum for Nurse Aides in Long Term Care Facilities. This bank follows that curriculum's six sections, with the most questions on Section 1, the 16 hours taught before any contact with a resident.
- Twelve questions are on Texas's own rules: training hours, retakes, the registry and renewal.
Questions and answers

Prometric, under contract with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, by the commission's Nurse Aide Registry page read October 8, 2026. The commission issues the certificate and keeps the registry.
