Checking a specific contractor
Check on the issuing board’s own lookup. We do not republish per-contractor licence records: a record that has gone stale on a third-party page can send you to an unlicensed contractor on that page's authority.
How to check a contractor's licence in Texas
Texas does not license general contractors at state level.
Any requirement comes from the city or county, not the state.

What the state licenses instead
This state does not license general contractors. It does license plumbing. We have NOT verified whether that licence covers residential work, so do not assume it does.
