By: JADE Learning | Dec 01, 2019

You can renew your Texas electrical license quickly if you know what the process involves and plan ahead. You’ll need to complete a brief continuing education course and then apply for renewal with the state. Let’s walk through the process step by step so you can prepare.

How to Renew Your Texas Electrical License

Step 1: Find Your Electrical License Expiration Date

An electrical license issued in the state of Texas must be renewed every year. Keep your date of issue on the calendar so you know when it’s time to renew. If you don’t know when your license was issued, you can look up your details on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) website.

Step 2: Complete Your Continuing Education

Electricians in Texas must complete 4 hours of Texas electrical continuing education every year in order to renew their electrical license.
