StatewideTexas market snapshot
The contractor market in Texas
This is our covered-source snapshot for Texas, refreshed 2026-09-02. Counts describe records, not every contractor or unique company in the state. Census housing-unit authorizations shown here refer to 2025; they are not completed projects or all construction work.
Figures use separately generated snapshots: overall roster totals, trade counts and mapped-city counts can differ in scope and collection time and should not be added together or treated as a reconciled census. The displayed source refresh date does not date every aggregate. Population and households are sums of the covered ZIP estimates. The income indicator is a population-weighted average of ZIP-level household-income medians, not the state's household median. Census context can refer to a different period from the roster. Housing-unit authorizations refer to the displayed permit year; they are not completed projects. See the ACS estimate guidance and Building Permits Survey for the underlying statistical definitions.

Common questions about Texas contractors
What does the Texas roster cover?
9,656 records in our snapshot, refreshed 2026-09-02. Coverage follows the sources and trades listed here; it is not a census of every contractor or a count of unique companies. A company may hold multiple credentials.
How do I check a contractor in Texas before hiring?
Texas TDLR provides electrical and air-conditioning/refrigeration license searches. Plumbing is administered by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Choose the authority for the trade rather than assuming one contractor lookup covers every project. Compare the official record with the business on the contract, its current status and the proposed work. Check local permits, insurance and references separately.
Which trades are available in this roster?
electricians. These are our covered categories, not a statement that each has a statewide license. Availability depends on territory and filters.
Does inclusion prove a contractor is active today?
No. The snapshot reflects source records at collection, not a live status check. Recheck the issuing authority before hiring. Missing records can reflect our coverage, source timing or search limits; they do not by themselves establish that a business is unlicensed.
How do I choose a list and delivery time?
Select a territory and review its available records and price before checkout. Contact fields vary by record. Larger website orders are typically delivered within one business day. Custom research scope and delivery timing are agreed before purchase.

Understanding Texas credentials
Texas TDLR provides electrical and air-conditioning/refrigeration license searches. Plumbing is administered by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Choose the authority for the trade rather than assuming one contractor lookup covers every project.
An air-conditioning company must employ an appropriately licensed ACR contractor at each permanent location. Match the company and responsible credential; a technician's name alone is not the whole check.
Example: For an HVAC replacement with electrical work, verify the ACR contractor and ask who is responsible for the electrical scope and permits.
Route the trade to the correct Texas board
- Use TDLR for the electrical or air-conditioning/refrigeration question, and the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners for plumbing. A result from one service does not establish the other trade’s credentials.
- For air conditioning, match the company and permanent location to the responsible licensed ACR contractor. Ask for that relationship when a quote gives only a technician’s name.
- Break a mixed project into trade responsibilities and ask the local permit office about the proposed job. Keep a record of the authority consulted for each portion rather than marking the entire company “licensed” after one search.
Example: a replacement system needs new electrical supply and plumbing alterations. Ask which firm will do each part, then check the relevant board records. The ACR license does not make the plumbing-board check unnecessary.
