Notes
Texas lists four plumbing license types: Tradesman Plumber-Limited, Journeyman, Master, and Plumbing Inspector. TSBPE's exam and application pages state that major plumbing exams use computer-based testing and Pearson VUE fees or scheduling for the written component. Texas also allows applicants holding journeyman or master plumber licenses from another state to apply toward Texas licensure paths. Verified against TSBPE licensing pages on 2026-03-09.
