How Journeyman Electrician licensing works in Texas

Texas journeyman electricians work under the supervision of a master electrician and may install, alter, and repair electrical wiring. The license requires 8,000 hours (about four years) of documented apprentice experience plus the journeyman exam. Journeymen cannot pull permits or run an electrical contractor business on their own — only master electricians and TECL-licensed contractors can. Renewal is annual with four hours of NEC continuing education. The journeyman tier is the most common active electrical license in Texas.
