How to Check if a Mold Contractor Is Licensed in Texas

To check if a mold contractor is licensed in Texas, use the free TDLR License Search tool on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation website and look up the individual's name, business name, or license number to confirm the license is active. Texas mold work is regulated under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1958, and the person actually performing or supervising the job — not just the company — must personally hold the correct license. Never rely solely on a printed card or certificate a contractor shows you, since these can be expired, altered, or belong to someone else at the company.

Who regulates mold contractors in Texas?

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) licenses and oversees mold assessors and remediators statewide. TDLR's authority comes from Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1958, with implementing rules found in Title 16, Chapter 78 of the Texas Administrative Code. These rules set license categories, required conduct standards, and documentation that must be provided to homeowners at the end of a job. If a company or worker is doing mold assessment or remediation in Texas without a valid license, they are operating outside state law.
