The city lists the 2020 National Electrical Code as adopted. Texas moved its state code to the 2026 edition on September 1, 2026, and Texas cities may adopt local amendments and require inspections. Ask the electrician which edition the Kyle inspector will apply to your job.

Checking a Kyle electrician

Non-exempt electrical work in Texas must be done by a TDLR licensee working through a licensed electrical contractor, and that contractor must employ a master electrician. Search the company and the electrician on TDLR's License Data Search. Contractor trucks must show the business name and TDLR license number on both sides.
