What you get
Each record is one licensee from an official TDLR bulk license file, cleaned and typed. Use it for lead lists, license verification, market research, and territory planning.

- businessName: the doing-business-as or business name when the file separates it
- licenseType: the license or certificate type, such as Master Electrician or Tow Company
- licenseNumber: the license or certificate number
- status: license status such as CURRENT or EXPIRED, when the file provides it
- address: street address, business address preferred over mailing address
- city: city of the licensee
- state: two-letter state code
- zip: postal code, including the plus-four when present
- county: Texas county of the licensee
- phone: contact phone number when listed
- issueDate: original license issue date, when the file provides it
- expirationDate: license expiration date
- observedAt: when this record was last read by the scraper
Programs and trades
The scraper reads the official TDLR bulk data files. You pick one or more programs from a list of 149, including electricians (master, journeyman, apprentice, residential wiremen, sign and contractor classes), air conditioning contractors and technicians, cosmetology and barbering practitioners and establishments, tow truck operators and tow companies, vehicle storage facilities, auctioneers, elevator inspectors and contractors, water well drillers, massage therapists and establishments, dietitians, midwives, podiatrists, mold assessment and remediation, property tax professionals, and more. There is also an All Licenses option that covers the full statewide file.
How filtering works
Every filter runs after the file is downloaded, so you can narrow a large trade file to a single city, county, ZIP prefix, or license number. The name filter matches against both the personal name and the business name. Many individual-licensee files omit street address, city, and phone, listing only the county. For those trades, county is the reliable geographic filter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Texas trades and licenses does this cover?
It covers all 149 public bulk license files published by TDLR, from electricians, HVAC, cosmetology, and tow trucks to massage therapists, midwives, podiatrists, mold professionals, and property tax consultants. You can also pull the single All Licenses file that spans every program at once.
How many records can I pull in one run?
You set the Max Items limit. Individual trade files range from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands of licensees, and the All Licenses file holds the entire state. Set a high limit to take a full trade file, or a low one to sample.
Can I filter by city, county, or ZIP code?
Yes. You can filter by city, by Texas county, by a ZIP prefix, by a name fragment, or by an exact license number. Note that many files for individual license holders only include the county, not a street address, so county is the most dependable location filter for those trades.
Why are some address or phone fields empty for certain trades?
TDLR publishes full business address and phone for establishments and companies, but for many individual license holders it only releases the county. The scraper never invents data, so those fields stay empty and the county is populated instead.
Is the license status always included?
Status such as CURRENT or EXPIRED appears in the health and human services style files, like massage therapists, dietitians, and podiatrists. The older electrician and cosmetology files do not carry a status column, so that field is empty for those trades.
