The Texas Board of Nursing is experiencing a higher number of phone and webmaster inquiries due to the number of waiver requests, migrating to a new licensing system and recent graduations. We attempt to respond to any inquiry within ten business days but will need up to fifteen business days for the month of July. We appreciate your patience.
Board Staff are aware of the current long wait times for phone and email responses. We apologize for this inconvenience. Transitioning to a new licensing system, current staff having to work remotely during a peak graduation season with testing and the background check delays has presented many challenges simultaneously. However, management is working to increase the number of staff available to assist. Currently, turnaround time for processing most applications is between 15 and 20 days. We are working diligently to decrease our processing times within the next month. If you require information that your Texas Nurse Portal account cannot provide, please send a detailed email to webm...@bon.texas.gov. We appreciate your patience during this trying time.

The Consumer Confidence Survey reflects prevailing business conditions and likely developments for the months ahead. This monthly report details consumer attitudes, buying intentions, vacation plans, and consumer expectations for inflation, stock prices, and interest rates. Data are available by age, income, 9 regions, and top 8 states.
Consumers expressed mixed feelings this month: their view of the present situation improved slightly overall, driven by an uptick in sentiment about the current labor market, but their assessment of current business conditions cooled. Meanwhile, for the second month in a row, consumers were a bit less pessimistic about future labor market conditions. However, their expectations for both future income and business conditions weakened, weighing down the overall Expectations Index."
Consumers were positive about the stock market, with 48.4 percent expecting stock prices to increase over the year ahead, compared to 23.5 percent expecting a decrease and 28.1 percent expecting no change. Meanwhile, the share of consumers expecting higher interest rates over the next twelve months dropped to 52.6 percent, its lowest level since February.
The monthly Consumer Confidence Survey, based on an online sample, is conducted for The Conference Board by Toluna, a technology company that delivers real-time consumer insights and market research through its innovative technology, expertise, and panel of over 36 million consumers. The cutoff date for the preliminary results was June 19.
The Conference Board publishes the Consumer Confidence Index at 10 a.m. ET on the last Tuesday of every month. Subscription information and the technical notes to this series are available on The Conference Board website: -board.org/data/consumerdata.cfm.
