LICENSING

Who licenses electricians in Texas.

Dallas–Fort Worth

Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation

Dallas–Fort Worth electrical contractors need the Texas business credential appropriate to their work, while permits and local registration depend on the project address. Check the TDLR electrical-contractor record, then the Dallas, Fort Worth or suburban permit authority. A master electrician’s personal license does not replace the contracting business’s license.

Houston

Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation

Houston electrical work has two identity checks: the Texas trade credential and the City of Houston registration or license used for permits. Start with the business’s TDLR record, then establish which local government controls the property. A Houston mailing address alone does not identify the permit authority for the job.
