Check a license in Texas
Texas has no statewide general contractor license, so builders and remodelers follow local city rules. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) licenses electricians and air conditioning and refrigeration contractors, and the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners licenses plumbers.

Texas homeowner FAQ
Does Texas have a general contractor license?
No. General contractors and roofers are not licensed by the state, so check local registration, insurance and references. Trades like electrical, HVAC and plumbing do need state licenses.
How do I check an electrician or HVAC contractor in Texas?
Use the TDLR license search. TDLR licenses both electricians and air conditioning and refrigeration contractors.
How do I check a plumber in Texas?
Plumbers are licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Use the license search on its website.
When should I service my AC in Texas?
In early spring, before summer heat sets in. Many Texas homes also benefit from a second check in late summer.
How do I protect pipes during a Texas hard freeze?
Insulate exposed pipes, cover outdoor spigots, and know where your main water shutoff is. Let faucets drip during extreme cold if a plumber recommends it.
