Texas Plumber License Check
Check whether a Texas plumber is licensed before you hire. Enter the plumber's name or license number to pull their current status directly from the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE). Plumbers in Texas are regulated exclusively by TSBPE — not TDLR — so you must verify here, not on the TDLR site.

About Plumber Licensing in Texas
The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE) is the sole licensing authority for plumbers in Texas — distinct from TDLR, which handles most other trades. License types include Master Plumber, Journeyman Plumber, and Plumbing Contractor. Any plumber doing work that requires a permit in Texas must hold a current TSBPE license.
Always verify a plumber's license with the official TSBPE registry before hiring. A quick check confirms the license is active (not expired or suspended), matches the contractor's stated name, and covers the work scope you need.
