The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) licenses over 30 types of professionals, from electricians and HVAC technicians to barbers, auctioneers, and property tax consultants. Their public license database is useful for verification, but not built for bulk access.
What TDLR Data Includes
For each license holder:
- License number and type (electrician, plumber, HVAC, cosmetologist, etc.)
- Licensee name and business name
- License status (active, expired, revoked)
- Issue and expiration dates
- City and state
Use Cases
- Home services platforms - Verify that contractors are actually licensed before listing them
