Start with the right trade
Texas contractor license requirements by trade.
A contractor license, expiration date, renewal deadline, and continuing education requirement are specific to the program and credential. Don’t apply an Air Conditioning and Refrigeration rule to an electrician, plumber, or another trade. Check the agency page for the license you hold and verify its current record.
Find the licensing program
Search the official program list first. Not every contractor credential follows the same Texas licensing path or renewal process.

Use the renewal page for your license class. The ACR example above is one trade-specific timing reference, not a statewide contractor deadline.
