How to get a journeyman electrician license in Texas
Texas journeyman electricians are licensed by TDLR. Typical path: documented on-the-job training hours, an application with experience evidence, a trade exam through the board's vendor, fees, and renewal on the board's cycle. Exact hour totals and forms change — treat figures below as a draft until verified.

Requirements overview
Expect several thousand documented OJT hours under a licensed supervisor, proof of experience (often employer affidavits), and a passing score on the journeyman exam. Apprentice registration may apply while you accumulate hours. Confirm current hour totals and affidavit rules on the TDLR electrical pages before you apply.
Exam
Texas exams are scheduled through the board's designated vendor after eligibility. LicenseFlo helps with paperwork and reminders — we do not sit the exam.
Fees and timeline
Budget application and exam fees to TDLR plus CE at renewal. Processing times vary; plan in weeks. Confirm current fees on the board site.
