Texas hotel human trafficking training, ready to assign

Texas requires hotels, motels and inns with more than 10 rooms to train every employee they directly employ in human trafficking awareness every year, and new hires within 90 days. The Attorney General's 22-minute training is on the state's approved list. Ethica assigns it, follows up until it's done, and keeps each certificate, which the law says you must hold for current and former employees.

Your obligations, and the proof each one demands

Every rule below is easiest to prove with a record of who completed the training, and when. Ethica keeps that record for each person.

Human trafficking awareness training

Who and when
Hotels, motels and inns with more than 10 rooms: every directly employed employee every year, new hires within 90 days

Certificates of completion for all current and former employees, given to the Attorney General within 72 hours of a request (§114.0052)

The law also requires a human trafficking sign at the establishment (Bus. & Com. Code §114.0053). The training doesn't cover that.

Frequently asked questions

Which businesses are covered?
Hotels, motels, inns and similar businesses that offer more than 10 rooms to the public for temporary lodging (Bus. & Com. Code §114.0001). The training covers every employee the establishment directly employs.
How often, and how soon for new hires?
Every year, and within 90 days of hire. The training must last at least 20 minutes and be approved by the Attorney General (§114.0051).
What records do we need?
Every certificate of completion for current and former employees, given to the Attorney General within 72 hours of a request (§114.0052). The Attorney General keeps no record and can't issue duplicates, so the copy in Ethica is your record.
Is it available in Spanish?
The Attorney General's training is in English. The Attorney General's list of approved programs includes others, some in Spanish, that you can add in Ethica as training hosted on another site.
