About working in Texas

Texas regulates electrical work under the Texas Electrical Safety and Licensing Act, administered by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Licensing is statewide. Code adoption is local, each city or county adopts a version of the National Electrical Code with possible amendments. Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and most of the larger cities in the metro adopt recent NEC editions; smaller cities and unincorporated areas sometimes lag the major cities by a code cycle.
