How long do I have access to the materials?
Students can pre-order but will not be able to access the full course materials or earn a certificate of completion until the course is fully published.

What is the electrical license renewal deadline?
Electricians must renew their licenses every year on the anniversary of the issue date. TDLR usually provides a reminder email or postcard about 60 days before your license expires.
Can I renew an expired license?
Yes, but the renewal fees and requirements change depending on when the license expired.
Licenses that have expired within the past 18 months can be renewed online but for a greater fee. From 18 to 36 months, you must also complete a Request to Executive Director for Expired License Renewal Form. After 36 months, you need to reapply as a new applicant.
To verify that your license is active and in good standing, use the TDLR License Data Search tool. You can search with your name, location, license number, or expiration date.
How do I renew online?
Electricians across the state, from Austin to Dallas and beyond, can complete the renewal application online. Here are the steps you need to take:
- Visit the TDLR Online Licensing Services page
- Select your license type
- Enter your license number and the last four digits of your Social Security number
- Follow the on-screen instructions
- Pay the fee using a credit card
Does TX offer license reciprocity?
Reciprocal agreements allow one state to recognize the license of another, typically when the training, experience, and exam standards are considered equivalent.
This helps qualified electricians move or work across state lines more easily.
Texas has different reciprocity agreements depending on the type of electrician license.
Here's a breakdown by license class:
Master Electrician
Louisiana (state contractor's license), Nebraska, and North Carolina (master electrician or unlimited electrical contractor)
Journeyman Electrician
Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
