TDLR electrical licenses

Non-exempt electrical work in Texas must be done by a TDLR licensee working through a licensed electrical contractor, which must be or employ a Master Electrician. Look the company up on TDLR's License Data Search; licenses renew every year, and the search lists active licenses only. A Master Electrician has at least 12,000 hours of supervised training and two years as a journeyman, and a Journeyman 8,000 hours; apprentices must be at least 16 and work under a master's supervision. Contractors must carry liability insurance of at least $300,000 per occurrence and $600,000 in aggregate. Electrical contractors must also show their business name and license number on both sides of their vehicles and carry workers' compensation or file a formal notice of no coverage.

Boerne registration and electrical permits

Boerne requires contractors to register through MGO before working in the city limits or submitting permit applications. State law bars a city from charging a TDLR-licensed electrician a registration or administrative fee, while still allowing building permit fees, and a city can require inspections and adopt local code amendments. Ask the electrician what the city will inspect and get the permit number from MGO.

Texas adopted the 2026 National Electrical Code effective September 1, 2026, with a limited exception for GFCI rules on certain outdoor outlets; the 2023 code applied before that. Work permitted before the change may have been reviewed to the older edition, so ask which one applies to yours.

If you own and live in the house, state licensing law exempts your own work only where a city ordinance doesn't specifically regulate it. Pool pumps and lights can be swapped by a Residential Appliance Installer, but a new pool circuit needs a licensed electrical contractor; see pool service in Boerne. Other local rules are on the Boerne guide, and you can compare electricians in San Antonio.
