I, too, checked the TX BON site and found this:
Texas Board of Nursing - Education FAQ
The ACLS course I took did not offer CNE, why can't I count this course?
There are many courses that offer high quality information applicable to nursing practice and that promotes ongoing learning and professional growth. However, if the specific course does not meet the criteria set forth in Chapter 216, relating to Continuing Competency, then the course would not be able to apply toward the requirements. The certificates of completion are required to contain specific information including: the name of the provider (who presented or provided the CNE), the title of the program, the date and location of the program, the number of contact hours provided, the provider number, and the name of the credentialing agency.
In our programs, certificates are no longer issued, but participants receive a card after successfully completing the course(s). The cards contain the information necessary to turn in to the BON as outlined above in the TX BON.
Maybe others will come along and give you more information that is helpful.
With the help of another member, I found this:
PLEASE NOTE: Successful completion of either initial or renewal courses such as Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Advanced Trauma Life Support, and Pediatric Advanced Life Support, may be counted for CNE credit, if a specific course meets requirements as listed above and in compliance with Chapter 216.https://www.bon.state.tx.us/education_continuing_education.asp
You need to re-contact where you took the course(s). They should have the information necessary to turn into the BON. As stated above, they may not have approval.

Hi Everyone,
Question about CE's. I just did a recert for ACLS and my first PALS class. I cannot seem
to find out how many CE's are given for those classes. I live in Texas if that matters.
Does anyone have any idea how many CE's we get for first time class and recerts?
Thanks for the help.
