Questions this answers

• Is this electrical contractor's license active in Texas right now, and when does it expire?
• Check these 500 subcontractor names against the Texas board before we put them on site.
• Export every licensed electrical, plumbing, HVAC contractor in Texas with a phone number.
• Which Texas licences expire in the next 60 days?

What Texas actually publishes

Measured on real rows pulled from the board, not on what its documentation says. A field the board does not publish stays empty; the Actor never guesses one.

Field	Published
Licence number, status, trade	yes
Expiry date	yes
Street address	yes
City and ZIP	yes
County	yes
Phone	yes (plumbers 51%, HVAC none) of rows
Email	no
Insurance or bond expiry	no

Texas publishes a phone number on yes (plumbers 51%, HVAC none) of rows. That makes this a calling list as well as a verification tool.

Trades covered

• Electrical Contractor
• Electrical Sign Contractor
• Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractor

A trade the board does not license is not in the list, and the Actor will not invent it.

Two modes

Lookup. One name or licence number per line. A licence number matches exactly; a name matches any licensee or business containing it. Every match comes back as its own row with the query it matched, so a list of 800 subcontractors comes back as a checked list.

Export. Pick a trade (or all of them) and get every licence in Texas, with onlyActive, onlyWithPhone and onlyExpiringSoon (next 60 days) filters and a maxResults cap.

What every row carries

state, licenseNumber, name, businessName, tradeLabel, status, isActive, expirationDate, daysToExpiry, isExpiringSoon, address, city, zip, county, phone, email, sourceUrl, scrapedAt, plus matchedQuery in lookup mode. Dates are ISO, phones are E.164, status is normalised so ACTIVE means active on every board.

Built for verification

• Every query comes back as a row, matched or not, with matchedQuery to join it to your list.
• No match, no charge.
• Status normalised so isActive means the same thing as on every other board; the board's own status text is kept.
• Source URL on every row, pointing at the board's page for that licence: the primary source for a compliance file.
• Coverage printed by the run, per field, in RUN_SUMMARY: what you actually received, not what a README promises.
• Incomplete runs say so: a board that did not answer is named in the summary and the run is flagged, never passed off as clean.
• Stable ids (TX-<licence>) for diffing between scheduled runs: schedule the same list daily and you have licence-lapse alerts on your subcontractors.

Pricing

Pay per delivered row. Filtered-out rows cost nothing. A lookup that finds nothing charges nothing beyond the start fee.

Need more states?

The same tool covers 20 states in one query, with a per-state coverage table so you know before you buy which boards publish a phone or an email: https://apify.com/wellbuilt_zythem/us-contractor-license-lookup
