Texas Electrical Continuing Education and Renewal Process

Since Texas electricians need to renew their licenses annually, it’s a process you want to stay on top of. While other states give electrical licensees several years between renewals, you need to make sure you complete yours each year.

What, exactly, does that entail? If you’re wondering how to renew an electrical license in Texas, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s the how-to for apprentices, journeymen, masters, and sign electricians. 

How to renew my apprentice electrician license

Each year, your license expires on the date it was initially issued. To prevent that, you need to do three things for apprentice electrician license renewal:

  1. Complete your electrician continuing education. You need four hours during each renewal cycle. Fortunately, you can take these hours from a TDLR-approved provider, like us, meaning you can do them from your computer, phone, or tablet whenever it’s convenient for you. 
  2. Complete the online renewal application. Here’s the link to the webpage to start the process. You’ll need your license number and social security number to log in. 
  3. Pay the renewal fee.

If you have an electrical sign apprentice license, the process is the same.

How to renew my journeyman electrician license

You might think that the journeyman electrician license renewal process would be more involved because of the higher level of licensure. Actually, though, the TDLR pretty much requires the same amount of work from you. To renew each year, you need to:

  • Get 4 electrician continuing education hours. Again, you can take these online and at your own pace. If you choose online CE, just make sure it’s from a TDLR-approved provider.
  • Send in your online renewal application. Here’s your link to start the process. You’ll need your social security and license number. 
  • Pay the renewal fee.

If you’re a journeyman sign, industrial, or lineman electrician, you need the same CE hours and will pay the same fee.

Master electrician license renewal

Complete your 4 hours of continuing education. Like all other electrical licensees, you need four hours of CE each year. You can take the hours online to knock them out as easily as possible.

  1. Complete your 4 hours of continuing education. Like all other electrical licensees, you need four hours of CE each year. You can take the hours online to knock them out as easily as possible.
  2. Send in the renewal application. Start the online renewal process here.  
  3. Pay the renewal fee.
