Texas does not list a general pool-contractor license in the TDLR license catalog. Verify municipal registration and permit rules for the project address, then check regulated trades separately. For example, Texas requires non-exempt electrical work to be performed by licensed people through a licensed electrical contractor; use the TDLR license search to verify a specific credential.
