In Texas, an individual is considered an "applicant" for the CPA Exam if they plan meet the educational requirements and intend to sit for the Uniform CPA Examination, administered by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy (TSBPA). This involves submitting transcripts and other relevant documents for evaluation. TSBPA requires an Application of Intent for this initial step for applicants working towards becoming a certified public accountant (CPA). An applicant may or may not be actively preparing to take the exam at this point.
