How Electrical Contractor licensing works in Texas

A Texas electrical contractor (TECL) holds a business license that authorizes the company to bid, contract for, and perform electrical work. Every TECL must designate a qualifying master electrician whose individual ME license backs the contractor license. The TECL must carry general liability insurance and is renewed annually. Cities may require additional local registration before pulling permits. The contractor license is what homeowners verify when hiring a company; the master electrician license is the individual whose qualifications support that contractor.
